The Friedl bakery plant in a three story building at Commercial and Second streets showcases a modern bread operation. Flour passes from basement blender to second floor elevator, through dividing and weighing devices, then to a moulder on the first floor for production.
A local retailer touts best values and wide variety in house furnishings with a representative line. Highlights include a high grade electric iron at a low price and a tomorrow only sale on full size floor brooms and a sturdy trimming board. Flour bins with hinged covers and 50 pound capacity also featured.
The old Waterloo bakery, once tucked behind a retail shop, now operates with almost unlimited capacity. Two men can divide 1,990 loaves per hour on the second floor with mixers, troughs, and weighing equipment. The Friedl wrap bread is a specialty and fire risk is minimized by careful construction and cleanliness on the glazed brick and steel ceiling first floor.
The Waterloo bakery plant features automatic dough handling, a large mixer, egg beater and cookie machine, and a deep well supply. Workers wear shawers and plunge baths for safety as dough moves through baking pans. Owner W. Friedl emphasizes pure water, high quality materials, and rising local patronage while recalling regional railroad heroism.
The Friedl bakery in Waterloo is described as a notable sight with plans to add five more sets of modern bread making machinery. The plant employs about 128 people and produces clean sanitary bread and pastries using two large ovens. The facility includes basement storage, loading floors, furnace rooms, and a doughnut frying room. A key machine shapes dough and feeds the moulding line, with three loaves carried at a time by endless belts.
