About Ernest R. Braun And Braun's Bread History

In 1882 the Braun family emigrated from Germany to Ohio, The family eventually made their home in Allegheny where 20 year old Ernest and his brother, W. H. Braun, purchased a bakery in 1889.

From the beginning, Braun Bakery dedicated itself solely to the production of bread. W.H.’s job was to mix and knead the dough in a large wooden trough, while Ernest hand delivered unwrapped loaves from a horse drawn wagon.  Despite this decidedly old-fashioned start, the Braun brothers were quick to enlarge their bakery and update any outmoded business practices. This was especially true in the area of advertising. With print, then radio and finally television, Braun kept its products in the public eye. A 1958 article in State Food Trade, said it best: “They have [spent] considerable funds to keep Mrs. Consumer informed of their famous Town Talk [bread].”  The 50th anniversary of Braun Bakery found the brothers with a fleet of 118 trucks that distributed fresh bread from an expansive, modern facility on Island Avenue.  Braun products such as Holsum Buttermilk Bread, Old Settler Rye and, of course, Town Talk, became local staples. And as Braun limited its distribution to the ten Pennsylvania counties surrounding Pittsburgh, their products and the customer loyalty they inspired were distinctly a Pittsburgh phenomena.
