H. J. Heinz Factory, Kitchen Workers Preparing Preserves, circa 1900

Summary

Before complete mechanization of the manufacturing process, many tasks at the Heinz factory were done by hand. The H.J. Heinz Company documented the many departments of the manufacturing process through photographs. This photograph shows employees in the Preserves Department. Instead of glass jars or bottles, fruit preserves and butters were sold in stoneware crocks.
