Artifact Overview
In 1869, entrepreneur H.J. Heinz entered the processed food business with L.C. Noble selling products under the Anchor Brand. Horseradish was their first product, quickly followed by celery sauce and pickled cucumbers (pickles today) among other pickled foods and condiments. In 1872, L.C. Noble's brother joined the partnership and the company's name officially became Heinz, Noble & Co. until it went bankrupt in 1875.
