The history of KRAFT goes back to 1903, when, with $65 in capital, a rented wagon and a horse named Paddy, J.L. Kraft started purchasing cheese at Chicago's Water Street wholesale market and reselling it to local merchants. Within a short time, four of J.L. Kraft's brothers joined him in the business, and, in 1909, they incorporated as J.L. Kraft & Bros. Co. In 1914, J.L. Kraft and his brothers purchased their first cheese factory in Stockton, Illinois. In 1915, they began producing processed cheese in 3-1/2 and 7-3/4 ounce tins. J.L. Kraft's method of producing processed cheese was so revolutionary, in 1916 he obtained a patent for it and in 1917 the company started supplying cheese in tins to the U.S. Government for the armed forces in World War I.

J.L. Kraft followed up on his success with processed cheese in tins by introducing or acquiring many additional products, including processed cheese in loaves, VELVEETA Process Cheese, PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, MIRACLE WHIP Salad Dressing and KRAFT DINNER Macaroni and Cheese. He used innovative advertising to promote his products and was a pioneer in the sponsorship of television and radio shows. Kraft Music Hall on radio and Kraft Television Theatre helped prove the effectiveness of advertising on the then-new media. The company's "hands" commercials, showing a pair of hands preparing recipes using Kraft products, became a symbol of the company's advertising success. Aggressive sales merchandising techniques contributed further to the company's growing market share in an increasingly diverse line of products.

The success of J.L. Kraft and his company was noted by Thomas McInnerney, founder of National Dairy Products Corporation. In 1930, Kraft-Phenix Cheese Corporation (as it was then called) was acquired by National Dairy Products Corporation. Kraft continued to operate as an independent subsidiary of National Dairy Products Corporation for many years, but eventually was absorbed into the operating structure of the parent company, which changed its name to Kraftco Corporation in 1969 and again to Kraft, Inc. in 1976.

Side note:
Even all these years removed from St. Mary's School, I still had a
tendency to bow my head as I read the title of this thread.

actually i rank processed cheeses right up there with tofu. In fact I am guessing that of all the people I am aware of on a2k, Setanta would be the only "moderate" that eats it. (processed cheeses I mean) The eating of tofu is strickly a mental aberration.

One can never have too much cheese or too many potatoes...and the nice thing is they go well together or on their own.

Personally, I will eat cheese if somebody else puts it in my food, but you will never see me add it on my own, or even buy any. I don't remember tasting cheese before the age of twelve or thirteen. Perhaps that has a lot to do with it.
