H. J. Heinz, born on October 11, 1844 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, began his career at the age of eight, selling selling vegetables grown in his mother's garden. Mr. Heinz was a pioneer not only in the vegetable business but.....
"By offering factory tours, Heinz was able to show the safety and cleanliness of his manufacturing process (the tours also allowed visitors to try his products). His considerate treatment of employees was also notable for the time; in addition to comfortable working conditions, he directed managers to listen to workers' concerns.
Although many food manufacturers opposed 1906's Pure Food and Drug Act, Heinz was a proponent of the measure. His advocacy for its passage helped increase sales, as customers felt they were able to trust the safety of Heinz's manufactured foods."
