Numéro d'identification
Tweed & Area Heritage Centre
When the Heritage Centre received this artifact, it brought back memories. When I was a wee lad (late 1940s/early 1950s) my mother would send me to Blakely's Bake Shop in Tweed to fetch "a half loaf of bread." I would go to the shop, ask Mrs. Blakely for a half loaf of bread, pay her (15 cents, I believe), then return home with a full loaf of bread! I was puzzled that the errand was for a half loaf, but I always got a complete loaf. Only much later did I discover that two loaves were baked in a large tin, then broken apart for the "half loaf."
