I remember helms bakery from the -1950 in Los angelus. Not only did the bread drawer slide out and the donut drawer slide out and smell like fresh made donuts but our 6th grade class took a flip to the bakery which smells overpowerfully like the truck. We saw bread made. My sister who was younger than I remembered the white bread and the wheat bread being made and her teacher brought dough to class so school children could make a small loaf of bread. The teacher looked at the kids hands and clean hands got white dough and kids with dirty hands made wheat bread. My sister never again ate wheat bread. I saw a helms bakery truck at a museum in Griffith park. I stood by the back door and remembered the smell as the drawers were opened. After 40 years the smell was just as wonderful as in the 50s when I first smelled it.
