Stolzenbach bakery

Lima. Fluffy Raffles “belonged to a popular genre of the time — the clever and handsome adventuress,” Jacksonville’s Florida Times-Union wrote on Feb. 7, 1998. “Prim and proper yet bold and impish; coquette and vamp, the smart and mischievous young ladies pervaded the film and press of the time.” Fluffy Raffles, who visited Jacksonville in January 1916, eluded police and others “for no apparent reason other than the sport.” “Hooray!,” the Lima Daily News gushed May 14, 1915, “Fluffy Raffles will be in Lima Saturday afternoon. Having accepted the challenge of the Frank Stolzenbach Baking Co., Lima, Ohio, she will try her celebrated vanishing act in this city, where she will remain until properly captured four different times and $25 in gold will be given each time for her capture.” While in Lima, where she would use “the nom-de-plume” of the “Butter Nut Princess,” Fluffy Raffles would let the public get a good look at her, riding in the Stolzenbach parade as well as publishing a picture of herself in the newspaper, the Daily News explained. She would then announce where and when she would appear in disguise and invite residents to try to find her. The celebration, the Daily News opined May 16, 1915, “eclipsed anything of the kind that has ever been attempted by any business man in this part of the state …” Besides “ten floats beautifully illuminated with small electric lights” and Fluffy Raffles “looking like the fairy princess,” all the “officers and employees of the company were in line, numbering about 50 girls and 50 men, wearing their white suits which they use while working in the factory.” About two weeks after the parade, Fluffy Raffles was “properly captured” for the fourth time. Two years later, when the United States entered World War I, Stolzenbach, who had been chosen to head the Ohio Master Bakers’ Association in June 1914, was appointed leader of a nine-county district by a state food conservation committee. Ironically, Stolzenbach’s brother, William L. Stolzenbach, who operated a bakery in Canton, found himself accused of a lack of patriotism by a defense group for refusing to join in a bread exchange policy he questioned. William Stolzenbach saw other motives for the accusations. In a letter to the group, quoted in the Aug. 21, 1917, edition of the Lima Daily News, he wrote: “Certain of the emissaries of your department who have been in Canton have charged me with bearing a German name.
