The following undated receipt was found in papers and records at the German-American Club of Albany. The club is in possession of papers, etc. from a few now defunct German organizations. Unfortunately their holdings are very few.
This site, corner of Third Avenue and Elizabeth Street, continued as a bakery for many years. German-born Otto Theibe purchased the building around 1929 and operated Otto's Bakery there until 1966. It is unfortunate that very few of these old-world artisan businesses still exist. Today's fancy supermarkets have put most family owned bakers and butchers out of business.
Information on Otto's Bakery was found in an undated Times Union article on Elfrieda Textores; whom was a retired Bethlehem social studies teacher and member of the German-American Club of Albany.
