Curtiss Candy CompanyThe Curtis Candy Company was founded in 1916 by Otto Schnering out of Chicago, Illinois. Wanting a more "American sounding" name (as German surnames were not an asset during the time of World War I), Mr. Schnering named his company after his mother's maiden name instead. Their first confectionery item was Kandy Kake, later refashioned in 1921 as the highly-controversial log-shaped candy bar known as the Baby Ruth.
