01

Artifact Overview

Charles B. Knox revolutionized the use of gelatin in 1889 when he developed a method for granulating gelatin (before this, gelatin was sold in sheet form). When Knox passed away in 1908, his wife Rose took over the Knox Gelatine company, marketing its unflavored "sparkling gelatin" to American housewives. This booklet from 1924 highlights the health benefits of eating Knox Sparkling Gelatine.
