Artifact Overview

After having to close his first business, H.J. Heinz persuaded family members to begin a new company in 1876 -- F. & J. Heinz -- with H.J. Heinz running the company behind the scenes until he could rebuild his reputation and take over the company. This label for F. & J. Heinz advertises its "Dusseldorfer Senf" or Dusseldorf Mustard, similar to Dijon mustard but slightly more pungent.
