Artifact Overview
The H.J. Heinz Company had many transportation methods to transport its "57 Varieties." Cross-country shipments between factories were made by rail while local deliveries were made by teams of horses and later by automobile. In 1910, the company purchased its first gasoline-powered vehicles for deliveries, which would go on to replace all horse-drawn wagon teams by the 1920s.
