The H. J. Heinz Company, more commonly known as simply
Heinz, is an American food processing company that was founded by Henry John Heinz
in 1869. With humble beginnings, Henry and friend Clarence Noble, began manufacturing
horseradish in his father’s basement. The company would later expand to include
tomato ketchup in 1875 and eventually over 60 food products by the mid-1890’s.
Heinz introduced its “57 Varieties” slogan in 1896 which was included on many
of their very colorful billboard reefer cars. With a fleet of 700 cars, HEINZ
was able to ship their product by rail to major markets throughout the US. These
yellow sided refrigerator cars represent railcars painted throughout the late
1900s and through the ‘teens. All cars carried the distinctive “Heinz 57” but
each car advertised a different product. This is the first of six reefer cars
offered in this series. | 486 |
