American Bakeries Company.

American Bakeries Company had its beginnings when Mike Molan and Tom O'Connor, salesmen for a baking company in Minneapolis, struck out on their own and opened a small bakery in Minneapolis in 1902 and called it the Chicago Bakery. In 1906 they purchased the Schwab Bakery, also in Minneapolis, for the purpose of making pastry. In 1908 they opened a new bakery building in North Minneapolis. In 1912 they built a bakery on University Avenue in St. Paul, which operated as the Haynes Bread Company.

In 1912 Foley Brothers of St. Paul built a large bakery building in downtown St. Paul at Twelfth and Minnesota streets, which operated as the St. Paul Bread Company (1912-1913). A 1916 merger between the Haynes Bread Company and the St. Paul Bread Company (apparently known since 1914 as Purity Baking Company ) resulted in the creation of the Flour State Baking Company. The company began baking bread in Duluth in 1921.
