Mr. Ernst began his business career in Blue Hill, when he opened his first bakery. Later, he operated bakeries in Omaha, in Blair and in St. Paul, Neb., before he came to Grand Island 40 years ago.
When he established his bakery here, Mr. Ernst operated it along the lines established and accepted at that time. In the thirties, the continuation of his business demanded a change, and Mr. Ernst put into operation the present method of operation of his bakery.
