Rudkin was devastated that her son couldn't enjoy the bread, which made up a many of the town's sweets, so she decided she would create a non-asthmatic bread for him. Bread, being the foundation of Rudkin's family tree, was no secret to Rudkin and within 5 days she created whole wheat bread. After offering it to the local doctor, who immediately ordered it to sell to his patients, Rudkin was soon selling it in her town. Four months later she was selling it in New York with her husband as delivery man. Soon she was distributing her bread (both whole wheat and white loaves) across the country. Within three years the endeavor had outgrown the small farm bakery and a large commercial bakery was openedon July 4, 1947. Although WWIIcaused problems due to rationing, the bakery was producing 50,000 loaves a week in 1948.
