Kraft has come a long way since 29-year-old James l. Kraft moved from Ontario, Canada, to Chicago and started selling cheese to grocers from a horse-drawn wagon. In fact, the story dates back further, since for more than 200 years, many companies have united to make Kraft foods what it is today. It started before the revolution--in Dorchester, Massachusetts--when, in 1765, a local physician, dr. James baker, went into partnership with a young Irish chocolate-maker, john Hannon. It was America's first chocolate mill, where, in 1780, they made a blend of quality chocolate called baker's chocolate. Baker's chocolate was the first of a long list of companies that have joined Kraft foods, Inc., In making good food for busy families.
