Johnson, an eminent Boston dentist, believed that instead of repairing and extracting teeth that people should be taught to properly use them when chewing their food. He originated in his own kitchen Educator Crackers made from entire wheat flour.
He used entire wheat flour because he knew it to be the best basis for a food so made that it could not be swallowed until it was thoroughly masticated. He also knew that the most desirable way in which to make a food of this kind was in cracker form. These crackers were called Educator Crackers because it was necessary to educate people to Xlars eat hard baked, whole crackers. From a Newburyport plant, part of which was built in 1792, and to which material additions have been made from time to time, the Educator products have been distributed to all parts of the world, and the demand for their products, which has consistently grown during the that the company has expanded very rapidly, and their latest big move is their new and spacious plant in Cambridge.

The so-called social and welfare work of this corporation has a unique way of development. This must be done from the bottom of the organization rather than the top. The belief Is that the workers themselves know best what they and if there are enough people In favor of any particular social feature it will be provided occasionally by the concern, but more generally by the workers themselves. It Is an easy matter to assume that all employees like this or that feature in the so-called social and welfare department, but it is not fair to assume that all the people are of the same mind.
The management does not believe in over-developing the welfare side of Its employees by "cut and dried" methods selfishly planned, many times solely for the profit of the employer, but rather to pay Us employees liberal wages with a firm belief that the employee will give a fair work for a fair wage and is a better Judge as to how his or her money should be spent for their social existence for the last 30 years, has become so great eating feature of this wonderful plant 1 development.
