My mom always purchased bread from him, and occasionally we would get one of those awesome glazed doughnuts. I, too, remember the long slide out trays that displayed the tempting treats!! I also have asked people if they remembered the Helms man and they don't so this was great to read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326253082144256796.post-50584818909596104292011-09-25T00:10:04.926-07:002011-09-25T00:10:04.926-07:00I grew up in the El Sereno area of Los Angeles.

The children in our neighberhood thought we were "all that" because we had"accounts" with the Helms Man. At the end of the week or month our Mom's would settle the bill. I was so disappointed when the Helms Bakery went the way of the Good Humor Man.Rhia Lopeznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326253082144256796.post-51479235482366829882011-08-24T18:17:10.391-07:002011-08-24T18:17:10.391-07:00YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!THE SLIDE OUT TRAYS..WITH THE ...YES YES YES!!!!!!!!!THE SLIDE OUT TRAYS..WITH THE BEST GLAZED DONUTS EVER ....WHAT GREAT MEMORIES...SO HAPPY TO HAVE HAD SUCH AN AWESOME CHILD HOOD MEMORY ...HOW BOUT THE ROLLING SOFT SERVE ICE CREAM TRUCK...I CAN'T FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER ...A TASTY FREEZE MOMENT!!!!cnynlf58https://www.blogger.com/profile/12071391641156759807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4326253082144256796.post-34841473882681445972009-03-01T17:05:00.000-08:002009-03-01T17:05:00.000-08:00I too remember the Helm's Man.
