Strike leads to Hostess going out of business
A factory in Schiller Park, Ill. is shown making the signature squiggles on Hostess CupCakes. The Twinkie was born at Schiller Park on April 6, 1930 by James Dewar, manager of the Continental Baking Co., according to the Chicago Sun-Times. Dewar tried different uses of shortcake pans, filling Twinkies with banana cream originally. Three Hostess bakeries in the state employed 1,415 people. (Hostess)
