Some factors in baking bread of quality can be determined
exactly. These are the excellence of ingredients and baking
equipment. Claussen’s standard of quality is determined not
only by superior ingredients and fine equipment, but also by
the “know how” pains! \ingly acquired through over a ceu-
tury of service.
In making bread, as surely as in making watches, craftsmanship
makes the difference! At Claussen’s all the craftsmanship gained
