The Curtis Marshmallow company, a family owned business by a brother and sister team, Amory and Emma Curtis, opened in 1913.

On an early leaflet from 1918, they featured a recipe for the Liberty Sandwich, a precursor to the well-known Fluffernutter sandwich: peanut butter and marshmallow crème on whole grain bread.
