Dear Elvira

Welcome to the list. You said your family was in the bakery
business, and my great-grandfather was a miller. So I am curious and
would like to ask you if you have any recollection of how bakers got
their flour .. did they buy directly from millers or were there
wholesalers? Would you happen to know whether flour mills were
scattered about on the outskirts near the farms, or more concentrated
in a particular area? I ask this question because I don't know
whether my great-grandfather, whose name was Isaac Edelstein (married
to Minnie Focke), lived and worked in Sadagora or Czernowitz. He
died before you were born, and I don't know what became of his
business, but I am just curious to know whether you (or anyone on the
list) have any knowledge of the flour milling business in the area.
Thank you.
