Heinz's Pineapple Preserves Crock, 1890-1920

H.J. Heinz entered the processed food industry in 1869 when he began selling horseradish out of his family home. Upon achieving success his product line quickly expanded to include other products such as pickled foods, condiments, and preserves. Of his many varieties several were preserves, which were sold in jars or crocks like the one seen here.
