Artifact Overview
Before the 1920s, the H.J. Heinz Company transported their goods by rail and by horse-drawn wagons. Heinz's horse teams consisted of all-black horses with the exception of the "Blue Ribbon Team" -- a three-teamed wagon drawn by two black horses with a gray horse in the middle. This photograph from 1897 shows the Blue Ribbon Team at a horse show.
