Caleb Chase and James Sanborn decided to go into business together in 1863. Within 15 years, they had become the first in the industry to pack and ship roasted coffee in sealed tin cans.
In Boston, they founded Chase and Sanborn in 1878.
In 1929, Fleischmann Company bought the Royal Baking Powder Company (the owner of Chase and Sanborn) and was reincorporated as Standard Brands.
The main motive for the formation of Standard Brands in 1929 was to combine the distribution networks that Fleischmann and Royal Baking Powder had created in order to deliver highly perishable products to bakers and brewers.
Standard Brands coffee was based on the bi-weekly delivery system that the Fleischmann Company had worked out for its main product – yeast.
The light trucks that delivered the fresh yeast and coffee to the retailers were at first designed to carry a wide range of products which the retailer needed and would like to have fresh or frequently delivered.
Standard Brands became one of the largest suppliers of grocery goods to supermarkets. In 1961, Standard Brands acquired Planters Nut and Chocolate Company.
In 1981 National Biscuit Company with headquarters in New York merges with Standard Brands to form Nabisco Brands, Inc.
