Description
August T. Baden was a drugstore owner who lived in this house in Independence, Kansas until he died in 1988. He founded the cinnamon-flavored Baden's Hot Toothpicks which began as a treat for neighborhood children in 1949 but turned into a big business with Mr. Baden shipping millions of cinnamon toothpicks around the world. These toothpicks became increasingly popular in the 1950s and 1960s.
Mr. Baden closed his drugstore, the Cozy Corner, in 1962 but continued producing cinnamon toothpicks at a plant in Independence until his retirement. When I was a very young girl, I lived kitty-corner from this house. Mr. Baden used to call me "Fleeting Deer" as I would run and jump playing with the neighborhood kids.
