Laub's Bakery was founded in Cleveland, Ohio, in 1889 by German immigrant Jacob Laub. In time, it became the largest independent bakery in all of Ohio (with 465 employees). They ran a storefront bakery, home delivery routes, and a brisk wholesale business to other stores, restaurants and institutions.
The Sixties biscuit tin, shown above, would be used to present their Holiday cookies—and provide a blast of Christmas cheer. Like many Sixties Christmas decorations, it bears a bold, classic graphic—a reminder of a simpler. more naive Christmastime.
Today, such a biscuit tin can be used to present your own homemade Christmas treats. Or, use it to safekeep delicate ornaments, supplies of ribbon, or extra special Christmas greeting cards and photos. Click on the photo above to learn more about it.
