A short distance from Shorty Young's Office is The Gourley Brother's Bakery.
So close, in fact, that it might have been possible for Shorty to have
smelled fresh baked bread while working at his desk.
Also in its original location, the bakery provided a quality assortment
of breads, rolls and sweets to local residents on a daily basis. Like Simon
Pepin and L. K. Devlin, the Gourley Brothers got their start baking for
the soldiers at Fort Assinniboine. But like other businessmen that
depended on the fort for a living, the introduction of the railroad and
the closing of the post in 1911, forced them to seek new markets for their
goods.
