A bread box is a small, enclosed space. In the days before plastic bags and plastic wrap, that small space would become more humid from the bread in it and the enclosure would reduce the rate at which the humidity was diffused. Thus, the bread in the bread box would not dry out as quickly as it would if left on the cupboard shelf. Dried bread is stale bread and is not fresh.

Freezing is acceptable but storing in a refrigerator can also dry it out.
There are many do's and don'ts about storing bread but the best thing to do is eat it on the day if you can't store it in the dark in an airtight covering. If it is crusty bread it it may soften slightly and have to be placed back in the oven to re-crust.
Softer breads such as a sandwich loaf can simply be wrapped in a plastic bag until required, a paper bag is not recommended!

you should keep bread airtight because the more air that isn't circulating through that particular loaft of bread the softer the bread will stay and the fresher the bread will be.you wouldn't have crustied up bread if you keep it airtight. air is of cours, going to insert itself inside the loaft of bread when you open up the loaft to grap you a piece.
