Nabisco was founded in 1898 in Chicago, Illinois by Adolphus Green, an attorney and businessman from Massachusetts, John G. Zeller, a bakery owner from Ohio and William H. Moore, an attorney and financier from New York, according to www.encyclopedia.com.
The three businessmen each owned various bakeries and joined forces to form the National Biscuit Company, which merged the Pearson & Sons Bakery, the Josiah Bent Bakery and the American Biscuit and Manufacturing Company, among others, according to www.encyclopedia.com.
