Schmidt Baking Company is a bakery in Baltimore, Maryland, U.S. The company makes Schmidt's Blue Ribbon and Schmidt's Old Tyme Breads and, as a licensee of the Quality Bakers of America Cooperative, bakes and distributes Sunbeam Bread in its territory. It was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1886 by Elizabeth and Peter Schmidt at their house using recipes from their native Germany. The company now has more than 800 employees and makes several varieties of bread, most prominently white bread. Its 1970s and 1980s advertising jingle was "I like bread and butter, I like toast and jam, I like Schmidt's Blue Ribbon Bread, It's my favorite brand", which was derived from The Newbeats 1964 song, "Bread and Butter". There was a major fire at an empty building owned by the company on Fitch Lane in Fullerton, Maryland, in April 2008.〔(Floor Collapses in Baltimore County Fire. WBAL TV, MD - 19 Apr 2008 )〕 In 1941, the company was cited by the National Labor Relations Board for failing to engage in collective bargaining with its employees.〔( 122 F.2d 162 ) NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS BOARD v. SCHMIDT BAKING CO., Inc. No. 4798. Circuit Court of Appeals, Fourth Circuit. June 18, 1941.]〕 The company sponsored the Preakness Stakes pre-race parade in Baltimore for three years. In 1996, the company was the subject of an IRS lawsuit regarding when vacation pay and severance pay can be considered deferred compensation by a company in its tax returns. The resulting ruling on this case was used in proposed changes to the law.〔(Schmidt Baking Co., Inc., 107 T.C. 271 (1996) )〕 In 2012 Schmidt acquired the rights to Holsum and Milano in Harrisburg and Scranton from Bimbo Bakeries USA.〔( Regional bakers approved to purchase Bimbo brands )〕 ==See also== *History of the Germans in Baltimore 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Schmidt Baking Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
