LOL!!! All the boys did that in our class... They thought they were sooo funny and original!!! Of course we went to Catholic school and the nuns used to make them throw the book cover out and made them recover with a brown paper grocery bag... Ahhh... Memories...

It's hard to imagine that SAWS purchased a Bakery to turn into the new Headquarters. You may know that the old Playland Park (which is curretly being cleared for ???) was also purchased for Employee Parking and an Interpative Center.

Can you phathom what that venture would have cost the ratepayers?

Although it had to be approved by the BOD the idea was that of a past CEO who was a Retired Air Force General. During his time SAWS also purchased a vacant Albertson's Store (Hwy 151 and Potranco) with the idea of turning it into a Service Center. It is used for storage on misc. items.

It's great to see people remembering the sign! My grandfather Alton Newman designed it. It was the last bit of his huge advertising legacy in San Antonio.

Butter Krust sign like this at Hildebrand and San Pedro


I just got a DVD I bought off of Fleabay that is a digit history of San Antonio. It has early pics of Richters Steam Bakery. They have a few trucks marked Butter Krust Bread and a few horse and wagon deliveries as well. The pics are from 1916.

Do you mind linking to that? I'm sure they have more and I'd be interested to get a copy. Thanks!

San Antonio Texas History and Genealogy on CD 16 Books | A Digital History

There are a total of 16 different "books" on this disc. The first book is the most informative and is mostly of old pics of SA. It's a 124pg booklet promoting SA and has tons of pics from railroads, banks, apartment buildings, hotels, spas, industry, retailers, homes, attractions, theaters, to anything in SA from 1916. I've only looked at a couple of others and they are mostly reading, like Adina Zavalas book on the Alamo. Considering the low cost, anybody with any interest in SA history should have this. I think it's worth the price just for the first book on the list.
