ALBEE BAKERY. In 1870 Edwin W. ALBEE purchased an interest in the Fairbanks Bakery established by J. E. Fairbanks. The new firm named J. E. Fairbanks & Company at 139-145 Second Street became one of the Midwest's largest cracker manufacturing companies.
In eight years, Albee bought out his partner. Renamed the Albee Bakery, the company produced" Albee's Crackers." The company's products were shipped as far west as Yankton, South Dakota and over the MISSISSIPPI RIVER from Clinton, Iowa to Stillwater, Minnesota.
