__**Nabisco**__
In 1898, the New York Biscuit Company, the American Biscuit, and Manufacturing Company had merged over 100 bakeries into the National Biscuit Company, which was later called Nabisco. The Founders of Nabisco are Adolphus Green and William Moore were the ones that coordinated the merge, which made the company quickly rise to first place in the cookie and cracker in America. Nabisco was the first to make the Oreo in 1912 NOT the new design. Nabisco got the idea from the ship's biscuit shaped as a hexagon in 1906 and the wooden wafer stamp from Epirus, Greece.
