Baker gets jumbo-sized order for elephants

? Frank Formica’s task is bigger than a loaf of bread but smaller than an elephant. Actually, it IS a loaf of bread for an elephant.

Make that 300 loaves of bread for a half-dozen elephants.

His business, Formica Brothers, has a contract with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus to bake 300 jumbo-sized loaves of special-recipe whole wheat bread for the elephants who’ll be performing through the weekend at the city’s Boardwalk Hall.

The high-fiber, two-foot long loaves weigh three pounds each and are designed to help the elephants with their digestion. The first shipment was to be delivered Friday.
