01
Artifact Overview
H. J. Heinz believed that more people would buy his products if they were able to try them first. Heinz salespeople were instructed to set up demonstration (sampling) tables alongside their elaborate displays and offer new items for customers to try. Products were arranged in display cases like this one, providing shoppers with the opportunity to try new items before committing to purchase.
