About this piece
On Tour at Heinz, a fold-out visitor brochure from the H. J. Heinz Company's World Headquarters plant tour in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, issued for the company's centennial with the Heinz logo and A Century of Quality 1869-1969. About 3.2 x 6 inches folded, with a two-tone green photographic cover and an orange interior. Condition: very good, with light handling wear and minor edge rubbing.
Inside, visitors are told what they will see on tour: the meat products building, the baby food and soup kitchens, the vinegar building and the can-making facilities. Heinz facts include the company's start in Sharpsburg in 1869, the 57 Varieties trademark of 1896, the Pickle Pin first given away at the 1893 Columbian Exposition, the 22-acre Pittsburgh complex, and subsidiaries Reymer Brothers, Hachmeister, Star-Kist and Ore-Ida. Tour hours and reservation details are printed with the visitor reception address and telephone number.
The full back panels list Heinz Varieties of the day: ketchups, pickles, sauces and condiments, vinegars, baby foods, juices, beans, Minute Meals, spaghetti and macaroni, and dozens of Heinz condensed soups. A nice piece for Heinz, food advertising and Pittsburgh collectors.
