Lloyd Stanton, retiring owner of the present Stanton Bakery, remembers the nights he sneaked out the back door and through the alleys home after working late so no one would know he was breaking football curfew. After this fire, the bakery moved to Washington Avenue. Mr. Stanton sold the bakery in September, ending a 40-year career as a baker.

Stanfons Close Bakery, Moving To Florida BY GLORIA MINNICH Lloyd Stanton recalls starting in the bakery business at the age of ten by standing on a box to roll buns and stack cookies.

Now, 40 years later, Stanton has sold his bakery on Washington Avenue and will be moving to Cape Coral, the end of this month. "lhave worked 75 to 80 hours a week, getting up anywhere from 1 to 4:30 a.m. each day, and I'm glad those long hours are behind me," he says. "Dad (Arthur Stanton) started the bakery uptown next to Buecker's in 1930. Years ago you were more likely to follow in your father's footsteps.

I was brought up to be a baker. But I didn't encourage my sons to be bakers because of the long hours. "They all worked at the bakery as kids, but now one is a dentist in the Army, one is a teacher, and the other a college student. So there is no one to follow me and I have put in my time." Lloyd and his brother, William, were partners in the bakery until the Buecker fire ten years ago. When the bakery moved to Washington Avenue in the former Sanders Dairy building after the fire, William sold out to Lloyd.

"Ihavehadrealgood experiences with children since I moved out there near the park," Lloyd says. "I have enjoyed it and the bakery business was good to me. It put three boys through school and is allowing me to retire the way I am." "Piqua is fortunate to have four bakeries. Most towns this size have only one or two. It's been pretty competitive and it has meant maintaining quality to stay in business," he reveals.

"Business in the past few years has been small because it has been strictly retail. Wholesale business is gone. We used to bake for the schools and run eight trucks from house to house from Tipp City to St. Mary's. "But we quit all that when the store moved.

On Washington Avenue, I went into the ice cream business and started staying open seven days a week. But 1 haven't missed many Sundays at church. It just meant getting up that much earlier. "Things have changed. It's hard to find young bakers.

There are more women in bakeries. Wholesale business is gone. Prices are higher. I remember back in 1938 when bread was a nickel a loaf and doughnuts were 15 cents a dozen. But that was the depression and those were tough days.

I wouldn't want to see us go back to that." Even though there are more women in the profession, Mrs. Stanton was never involved in the bakery business. She's a teacher at Piqua Child Development Center and previously taught at Riverside School. And, Stanton reports, she's equally anxious to retire. They have been going to Cape Coral for vacations the past years and now have a home built there.

Mr. Stanton won't be completely retired though. He'll be selling insurance, but can take his time an important difference. Winan's Donut Shop has bought the former Stanton facility and remodeling is underway before the bakery business moves there. So there'll still be a place to stop for goodies on your way home from the park.

Mr. Stanton just won't be doing the baking. could they'd give MILNOT a blend ot fat-free milk and pure vegetable oil You gel so much more 'other SHOES PIQUA EAST MALL THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY SPECIAL 6" 3-Tone Suede SPORT SHOES For High School and College $000 ON SALE 3 WHILE THEY LAST A versatile spar 1 shoe for women teens racy styling in genuine suede no-skid cupped sole: all sixes.
