H.j. Heinz Company

A maker of ketchup, pickles, sauces, and a wide array of pantry staples sold in kitchens around the world, from Heinz Tomato Ketchup to its baked beans and mustard. The company traces to 1869, when Henry John Heinz began bottling horseradish in Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania—in clear glass, so shoppers could see the purity inside. Its famous "57 Varieties" slogan was never a real count: Heinz reportedly chose the number after spotting a shoe store advertising "21 Styles" from a passing train.
