Title:: H. J. Heinz company

Collection:: Economics Books

H. J. HEINZ COMPANY H. J. Heinz Company had its beginning at Sharpsburg, Pa., in 1869, when the Horse-Radish produced in a small garden was prepared, packed and marketed by the founder of the enterprise, assisted by two women and a boy, in two rooms of a residence. Today the Company produces the famous 57 Varieties, pure food products, at its main plant in Pittsburgh and twenty branch factories in three countries. Its distributing system reaches every civilized trade center. The business established by Henry J. Heinz, and con- trolled by him until his death in May, 1919, linked Pittsburgh with the prepared food industry. Under the control and di- rection of Howard Heinz, son of the founder and president of the Company since 1919, the business has continued to expand. From the small market centering in Pittsburgh, its products in the past fifty-six years have spread to the tables of the world. In carrying out its policy of controlling its products from the seed to the prepared food container, the Company has established a chain of factories that runs across the continent in the United States, reaches up into Canada and across the Atlantic to England and Spain. As Spain is noted for its fine green olives and olive oil, the Company operates groves and a factory at Seville. In its California groves and factories, ripe olives are grown and prepared for the table. The English and Continental markets call for varieties of sauces, and they are included in the output of the London factory. In this country, tomato products, baked beans, mince meat, fig pud- ding, plum pudding, mustard, horse-radish, pickles, spaghetti, macaroni, vinegar, fruit preserves, salad dressings, and sauces are produced. The Canadian factory produces the varieties that are in largest demand in the Dominion. The company maintains a system of sales branches and warehouses in the United States, Canada, England, and Scot- land, and through agencies and representatives, the 57 Varie- ties are placed on store shelves in every part of the globe. Traveling representatives cover the Occident and Orient, and the foreign demand for Heinz products is constantly growing.
