Baker Chocolate Refrigerator Magnets

Baker Chocolate Refrigerator Magnets

Baker Chocolate Advertising


4" x 2-1/2" refrigerator magnet depicts the cover of a 1913 cookbook promoting the Dorchester, Massachusetts company, Walter Baker & Co., Ltd., maker of Bakers chocolate. The trademarked Chocolate Girl is featured, dressed in colonial apparel with kerchief and apron, carrying a tray with a cup of hot chocolate. The border is made up of cocoa beans
The Baker company was founded in Dorchester in 1765 by James Baker, a Harvard doctor and businessman. It was America's first successful chocolate factory. In 1927 the company was purchased by General Foods and in 1965 moved from Dorchester to Dover.

A few bits of info from the General Foods Bakers Chocolate website:

  • If you lined up all the Baker's chocolate squares sold in a year it would span the length of the Grand Canyon -- 9 times!

  • Colonial Bostonians purchased the “hard cakes” of chocolate and scraped the chocolate into boiled water to make a sweetened chocolate drink.

  • Sales of Baker's chocolate grew after the Boston tea party in 1773 as patriots rejected tea drinking.

  • Bakers chocolate was the only packaged and branded food sold in Abraham Lincoln's general store in Salem, IL.

  • Bakers is credited with introducing German chocolate cake. In 1957 a Texan sent a cake recipe that included Baker's German's Sweet Chocolate to a newspaper in Dallas. The recipe caught on in popularity. In 1852 Baker's had named its sweet chocolate after its inventor, Sam German.
