Post World War 2
In the Postwar period the growing
price of labour rendered traditional
delivery services increasingly unviable and the horses and carts were disposed
of in the late 1950s .
Balloch’s Bakery was among Australian
producers of ‘Procera’ bread and ‘Pro-vita’ bread in the 1930s-40s. This ‘modern’
development in bread manufacture and marketing advocated for wholemeal and later
vitamin enriched bread
Facing pressure from
increasing competition from wholesalers and supermarkets, Balloch’s Bakery
closed its doors in October 1967.
