D303 and D304 General Baking Co. and D381 Fleischmann Bakery connection

[JLange]

I picked up a small group of old receipts today at a local flea market. What caught my eye in the group was the General Baking Company receipt. The receipt is dated 1914, which is coincident with the D303 set and the final year of the D304 set, I believe.

I then noticed the "Fleischmann 81st Street Bakery" line at the top, and a nice stamp at the bottom "Fleischmann Bakery, General Baking Co, Successor"

The address on the receipt matches the address listed on the Fleischmann Bakery D381 cards as well.

Anyways, I never realized these were connected, and thought maybe some other folks might not know this either, so I thought I'd share.

I'd still rather have the cards, of course, but happy with my little find!
