Walter Baker & Co. built its name in Dorchester, Massachusetts, where the company ground chocolate and cocoa for more than a century, and this advertisement puts that hometown front and center in its brand identity. The firm was among the oldest chocolate makers in the United States, having started production in 1780 under its founding partnership. Ads like this one from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries leaned on trade names, plain claims of purity, and the reassurance of a long-established Yankee manufacturer, when packaged foods were still new to many households. Look closely at the lettering and layout to see how the company presented its product as both wholesome and modern.
