Answers:
Otto Frederick Rohwedder of Davenport, Iowa invented the first loaf-at-a-time bread-slicing machine. A prototype he built in 1917 was destroyed in a fire, and it was not until 1928 that Rohwedder had a fully working machine ready. The first commercial use of the machine was by the Chillicothe Baking Company of Chillicothe, Missouri, which produced their first slices on July 7, 1928
Had to be pre 1940's I remember toast and sandwiches.
I remember a TV show about it... I have no details.
I would say it was in the 20's lots of home inventions were made back then. washing machine, refrigerator ???
