United States Bakery
The United States Bakery was founded by Johann and Joseph Matschiner, brothers who had immigrated to the United States from Bohemia. Johann and Joseph married Helena and Sarah Schreiber, the daughters of George and Elizabeth Schreiber from Norka, Russia.
The United States Bakery was initially located at 293 Burnside (approximately 5th and E. Burnside) and later relocated to E. 11th and Flanders.
In 1907, the Matschiner brothers sold the business to their nephews, Englebert and Joseph Franz. Franz Family Bakery continues as a subsidiary of United States Bakery.
