Trade card

In 1869, H.J. Heinz entered his first business partnership to form Heinz & Noble, which sold pickled foods and condiments until going out of business in 1875. In 1876, Heinz persuaded family members to begin a new company -- F. & J. Heinz -- with H.J. Heinz running the company behind the scenes until he could rebuild his reputation and take over the company.
