Artifact Overview

Before the 1920s, the H.J. Heinz Company transported their goods by rail and horse-drawn wagons. Heinz's horse teams consisted of all-black horses except for its "Blue Ribbon Team"--a three-horse hitch with two black horses and a gray horse in the middle. This photograph used for advertisements and publications shows the Blue Ribbon Team.
