Curtis Marshmallow Company: Melrose, Mass.
-
The Curtis Marshmallow company, a family owned business by a brother and sister team, Amory and Emma Curtis, opened in 1913.
-
Their signature product was the Snowflake Marshmallow crème, which won a prestigious gold medal award at the Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915. 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.
-
The factory was located at 33 Crystal Street in Melrose, across the street from what is now the tennis courts, until it was demolished in 1968.
