Recipe Booklet, "Jell-O, America's Most Famous Dessert," circa 1910
01
Artifact Overview
In 1899, Orator F. Woodward acquired the rights to Jell-O from Pearle Wait, who had invented Jell-O when he added fruit flavoring and sugar to powdered gelatin in 1897. While Wait was unable to market his product, Woodward used recipe booklets to gather interest. The booklets proved to be an invaluable marketing strategy, providing homemakers with creative uses for the ready-made product.
