History of Christie Brown and Company?

The company was founded by William Christie who migrated to Toronto from Scotland in 1847, he worked for various bakeries in Toronto. In 1853, Christie purchased his own business and by the year 1864, he was selling primarily wholesale. Christie was awarded the first prize for the best collection of biscuits by the Exhibition in Toronto of the Agricultural Association of Upper Canada.

After this success in 1868, he went into partnership with Alexander Brown and the company name was changed to Christie Brown and Company. Further by the 1880’s Christie’s was the largest cookie/cracker producer in Canada with the company offering more than 400 varieties of cookie/ crackers. Christie sadly died in the year 1900, and the family sold the business in the 1920s. However, the business was taken over by Nabisco in 1928 and the company logo was stripped away and replaced by the name Christie. Today we enjoy multiple products from this company including Oreo’s and Chips Ahoy cookie

Sylvester Graham.

Who created Graham Crackers?

Sylvester Graham is the man behind the creation of these crackers, he was a temperance leader and promoter of a vegetarian diet. Graham strongly favored the use of whole-grain and wheat flour compared to finely milled white flour. This form of flour was developed in the 1830s to divert people away from the less healthy refined white flour which removed many essential vitamins and minerals. He believed that switching to a vegetarian diet and abstaining from sugars, spices, and foods made with overly processed flours and chemical additives would enforce purity of thought as well as restrain sexual desires. This resulted in his name to become attached to graham flour, graham bread, and graham crackers.
