Description
H.J. Heinz Company “Girls” in the Bottling Department packing cucumbers, cauliflower, onions, olives, and peppers into decorative jars. The ingredients of each jar were arranged in an artistic design that reflected the individual tastes of each of the “girls.” Every jar was thoroughly washed before being filled. The jars were then delivered with the bottoms standing up so that no dust could get inside. As with the rest of its merchandise, Heinz was very particular about having the finest and cleanest glass bottles for its products. Many of the glass bottles were blown in nearby Sharpsburg, Pennsylvania, where the H.J. Heinz Company was originally founded.
