Before complete mechanization of the manufacturing process, many tasks at the Heinz factory were done by hand. Photographs of this process were often taken and then modified for advertising and publications. Pictured here female employees filling apple butter orders. While most Heinz products were sold in glass bottles or cans, fruit preserves and butters were sold in crocks.
