    <head>Administrative History</head>
<p>This catalogue was issued after the Strietmann Biscuit Co. moved locations from their original Cincinnati factory to their factory in Mariemont, Ohio in 1943. The Strietmann Biscuit Co. produced a wide variety of cookies and crackers, and as part of the United Biscuit Company after 1927 became one of the earliest bakeries to bake Girl Scout Cookies. Their "Zesta Soda Crackers" are now used by Keebler.</p>  </bioghist>
