Heinz Tomato Ketchup Bottle, circa 1903
01
Artifact Overview
In the late 19th century, when many foods were still sold in bulk, H.J. Heinz developed a strong name-brand image and individual packages for his products. This, along with aggressive advertising, kept the company name and trademark in the public eye. Heinz's clear glass bottles were appealing to look at and allowed customers to see the quality of the product.
