Produktbeschreibung

A photographic history of one of America's oldest and best-loved companies, and a study in how to "do the common thing uncommonly well." In 1869, the American diet was a dreary affair. Kitchen staples included bread, potatoes, other root vegetables, and meat. Tomatoes-at the time called "love apples"-were an exotic fruit. Then, twenty-five-year-old Henry J. Heinz helped to change all of that. Heinz established his company based on a single premise: quality. He demonstrated this commitment by bottling his first product, grated horseradish, in clear glass jars to showcase its purity. From his hometown near Pittsburgh, Heinz sparked a revolution. A colorful marketing genius, he was a foresighted entrepreneur whose peripatetic travels birthed the global H.J. Heinz Company, which today is the most international of all United States-based food companies. This book contains vintage images from the archives of one of America's first industrial photography studios-capturing both the products and the memorable and creative marketing from the "57 Varieties" company.
