Title
English: Pacific Coast Biscuit Co. employees outside factory, Seattle, 1918
Description
English:

Initially founded in 1899 to compete against the National Biscuit Company (later Nabisco), the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company was a conglomerate of baking companies headquartered in Portland, Oregon. The company, also known as Pacific Coast, was made up of seven companies that together controlled most of the commercial biscuit and cracker business west of the Rocky Mountains. One of those companies was the Seattle Cracker and Candy Company, which operated at the Union Trust Building, on the corner of Occidental Avenue South and Main Street. The Pacific Coast Biscuit Company was purchased by rival Nabisco in 1930. In this image the Seattle employees of the Pacific Coast Biscuit Company pose together outside their factory.
