The Star Bakery had started at Arthur Hartman’s residence in 1904 on South Main Street. Arthur and his wife, Cinderella started their bakery in their home by baking 5 loaves a day and they were delivered in market baskets to prospective customers. They had two cookstoves to do all the work.
In 1905, he went to Weiss and Frevert and purchased a portable stand oven. They eventually built a modern, up-to-date, clean, and sanitary bake shop that complied with all the rules and regulations. They had all kinds of bread, rolls, rusks, cookies, wafers, fancy cakes, doughnuts, and pies.
In 1912, Roy Huffman purchased the bakery from Arthur’s widow.
