Earning Daily Bread

Original title Kruha služiti

[mlsid]

Bread is something we buy every day and bakeries can be found on every street corner, in every neighborhood. But if one of them is frequently and continually visited by customers from different, even remote, parts of the town, it means that it is somehow special. What makes its products different? Why is it better and more appealing for people to buy bread here, than in any other bakery? Does tradition play a part? Bakery Trajković in Zagreb street of Nova Ves has been on the same spot since 1925 and its owner belongs to the third generation of bakers in the family. And whatever is the reason for popularity of this bakery – its marketing is undoubtedly based on oral tradition.
