Way back in 1880, Stoughton's Coffee Street was having daily coffee breaks for coffee. The citizenry, being 80% Norwegian (100% on Coffee Street) just had to fit in some time of day to send a batch of coffee through their system between meals. With the T.J. Mandt Wagon Co. going strong, it became necessary for tobacco firms to hire women for the seasonal tobacco stemming. The Gunderson Tobacco Warehouse at Main & Coffee Streets was ideal for hiring women because it was so near their homes that they could run home to check on their children, the house and see how the next meal was progressing. With these chores done and a hot pot of coffee constantly on the stove, what was more natural than to have a cup? So began today's coffee break - a few minutes to relax and refresh with coffee.
