Second Floor of H. J. Heinz Company Stables, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, circa 1910
Add to SetSummary
The H.J. Heinz Company spared no expense when caring for its Percheron horses. The processed food manufacturer stabled horses on the second floor of a three-story "equine palace" in Pittsburgh. Grooms spread high-quality bedding, as this photograph shows, to help keep their charges clean between shifts hitched to Heinz delivery wagons.
