Hy-Vee Orange Juice Can

The company was founded by Charles Hyde and David Vredenburg, who opened a general store in Beaconsfield, Iowa, in 1930. More stores were started, and in 1938, the company incorporated into Hyde & Vredenburg, Inc. Hyde & Vredenburg had 15 stores in Iowa and Missouri at that point. In 1945 Hyde & Vredenburg moved its corporate headquarters from Lamoni to Chariton, Iowa, after acquiring the Chariton Wholesale Company.


The Hy-Vee name, a contraction of Hyde and Vredenburg, was adopted in 1952 as the winning entry of an employee contest. The first store to open under the Hy-Vee name opened in Fairfield, Iowa, in 1953. The company's name was officially changed to Hy-Vee Food Stores, Inc., in 1963. In 1969 Hy-Vee expanded into Minnesota after acquiring the Swanson Stores chain based in Cherokee, Iowa. That year it opened its first DrugTown pharmacy in Cedar Rapids, Iowa; in 2005 all DrugTown stores were renamed Hy-Vee Drugstores in order to reflect the relationship between the chain's pharmacies and supermarkets.

Wisk Liquid Detergent Can

Wisk Liquid Detergent Can, 1950's
Wisk was a sponsor of the 1950-60's tv game show, "What's My Line".
Wisk HE liquid detergent does clean well in a front-loading washer without oversudsing. I'll give it that. But the perfume they picked out for it has a cloying, slightly sickening smell (reminds me of Russian Leather men's cologne in a way) and it stays with the clothes long after they're out of the dryer. People at my office commented on the perfume when I wore a shirt washed in it to work. I no longer use it on clothing for that reason -- I save it for the bathroom rug, the rubber bathmat, the dishtowels, anything I don't have to wear or sleep on. When I washed my bed linens with it, the heavy perfume kept waking me up, it smelled so bad and it gave me a headache.

An L&M cigarette commercial from the early 1970s.


Created by the company Liggett & Myers, L&M is a brand of cigarettes produced by Altria Group, Inc. (previously known as Philip Morris Companies, Inc.). Prior to a new roll out in October 2007, they were not very common in the continental US, but were and are sold almost everywhere in Puerto Rico, Israel and Egypt. They are also widely available in Europe. Due to new labeling regulations in Europe banning the use of the word 'lights' names of some cigarette brands have been changed, ie. L&M Lights are now L&M Blue Label.

Dr. Pepper Bottle

The drink was first sold in Waco, Texas, in 1885. It was introduced nationally in the United States at the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition as a new kind of cola. Dr. Pepper is not a kind of root beer. The exact date of Dr Pepper's conception is unknown, but the U.S. Patent Office recognizes December 1, 1885 as the first time Dr Pepper was served.

It was formulated by German pharmacist Charles Alderton in Morrison's Old Corner Drug Store in Waco.[1]To test his new drink, he first offered it to store owner Wade Morrison, who also found it to his liking. After repeated sample testing by the two, Alderton was ready to offer his new drink to some of the fountain customers. Other patrons at Morrison's soda fountain soon learned of Alderton's new drink and began ordering a "Waco". Alderton gave the formula to Morrison. A popular belief is that the drink was named after Morrison's former employer in Texas, but this has been disputed by the Dr Pepper company itself. They state that before moving to Texas, Morrison lived in Wythe County, Virginia near a Dr. Charles T. Pepper, and may have been close to Pepper's daughter at the time. The name is also reinforced by being an obvious play on "pep", i.e. providing quick energy to its consumer.

Comet Cleanser

Comet Cleanser, 1960's
n the 1960s and 1970s, Comet was known for a series of extremely popular television ads featuring the character of "Josephine the Plumber" (played by actress Jane Withers).

The brand was introduced in 1956 by Procter & Gamble, and was sold to Prestige Brands in 2001. Procter & Gamble retained the rights to market the brand in Europe, and to the professional (non-home consumer) market in the USA.

Dial Soap, 1960's

Dial was the first deodorant or antibacterial soap introduced in the USA. It was developed by chemists from Armour and Company, a leading Chicago meat processing firm (and for decades one of Chicago's signature companies), and introduced in the Chicago market in 1948. (Armour had been producing soap since 1888; soap was made from tallow, a by-product of the meat production process.) The name Dial was chosen because the soap advertised "'round-the-clock" protection against the odor caused by perspiration. Demand for this new soap exceeded expectations due to its deodorant effectiveness, its non-medicinal clover-like smell and bright golden yellow color. The brand was rolled out nationally in 1949, and in time became the leading deodorant soap brand in the USA.

Because of the popularity and strong sales of Dial soap, fueled by magazine, radio and television advertising, Armour and Company became known by the 1960s as Armour-Dial. In 1970, intercity transit company Greyhound Lines, as part of a diversification strategy, purchased Armour-Dial for $400 million and relocated its headquarters to Phoenix, Arizona the following year. It was for a time known as Greyhound-Dial.

Head & Shoulders Shampoo

1960's

he idea for Head & Shoulders dates back to about 1950. At that time, Procter & Gamble research determined that consumers were not completely satisfied with the then-existing anti-dandruff shampoos. What we had to do was find a new and effective ingredient against dandruff. After ten years of searching, P&G scientists found one that really worked! Pyrithione zinc.
In the 1950s, Procter & Gamble began screening tests to identify dandruff control agents. Over two thousand such ingredients were evaluated.
In 1960, we had a product and a code name, then came hundreds of tests on the product. For instance, we did safety tests to find out whether it would really work in the home. (It did.) Could people see the results? (They did.) How would it hold up during shipping? How would it withstand heat and cold? We found the answers to all these questions and more.

Skippy Peanut Butter Tin Can

Peanut butter (also known as peanut paste) is a food paste made primarily from ground roasted peanuts, with or without added oil. It is popular primarily in the United States,[1] Australia, the United Kingdom, Canada, South Africa, Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, The Netherlands, the Philippines and Saudi Arabia. It is also manufactured in some emerging markets.
Around the same time, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg in Battle Creek, Michigan, began experimenting with peanut butter as a vegetarian source of protein for his patients. His brother, W.K. Kellogg, was business manager of their sanitarium, the Western Health Reform Institute, but soon opened Sanitas Nut Company which supplied foods like peanut butter to local grocery stores.

The Kelloggs' patent for the "Process of Preparing Nut Meal" in 1895 described "a pasty adhesive substance that is for convenience of distinction termed nut butter." However, their peanut butter was not as tasty as peanut butter today because the peanuts were steamed, instead of roasted, prior to grinding. The Kellogg brothers turned their attention to cereals which eventually gained them worldwide recognition.

Joseph Lambert, a Kellogg employee who had worked on developing food processing equipment, began selling his own hand-operated peanut butter grinders in 1896. Three years later, his wife Almeeta published the first nut cookbook, "The Complete Guide to Nut Cookery" and two years later the Lambert Food Company was organized.

C.H. Sumner was the first to introduce peanut butter to the world at the Universal Exposition of 1904 in St. Louis. He sold $705.11 of the treat at his concession stand and peanut butter was on its way to becoming an American favorite!

Krema Products Company in Columbus, Ohio began selling peanut butter in 1908 ~ and is the oldest peanut butter company still in operation today (Established in 1898). Krema's founder, Benton Black, used the slogan, "I refuse to sell outside of Ohio." This was practical at the time since peanut butter packed in barrels spoiled quickly and an interstate road system had not yet been built.

In 1922, Joseph L. Rosefield began selling a number of brands of peanut butter in California. These peanut butters were churned like butter so they were smoother than the gritty peanut butters of the day. He soon received the first patent for a shelf-stable peanut butter which would stay fresh for up to a year because the oil didn't separate from the peanut butter. MORE

Kodak Camera's

Eastman Kodak Company (NYSE: EK) is an American multinational public company which produces photographic materials and equipment. Long known for its wide range of photographic film products, Kodak has focused in recent years on three primary markets: digital photography, health imaging, and printing.

The letter "K" had been a favorite of Eastman's, he is quoted as saying, "it seems a strong, incisive sort of letter". He and his mother devised the name Kodak with an anagram set. He said that there were three principal concepts he used in creating the name: it should be short, one cannot mispronounce it, and it could not resemble anything or be associated with anything but Kodak. It has also been suggested that "Kodak" originated from the suggestion of David Houston, a fellow photographic inventor who held the patents to several roll film camera concepts that he later sold to Eastman. Houston, who started receiving patents in 1881, was said to have chosen "Nodak" as a nickname of his home state, North Dakota (NoDak).[5] This is has been contested by other historians, however, who cite that Kodak was trademarked prior to Eastman buying Houston's patents.

Smith's Food King



Smith's began in 1932 when Lorenzo J. Smith opened his first grocery store in Brigham City, Utah. When his son Dee Smith joined the business he began immediately expanding it. Through partnerships and acquisitions Dee Smith built the company until his death in 1985. Later, Dee's son Jeff Smith became Chairman and CEO of Smith's. In 1989 the company completed its initial public offering and shares of the company started trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol SFD. In the early-1990s, Smith's attempted a major expansion into the Southern California market which was completely unsuccessful and resulted in Smith's accumulating nearly $500 million in debt.

Jif Peanut Butter Jar

Jif is a brand of peanut butter made by The J.M. Smucker Co., which purchased the name from Procter & Gamble in 2001. It debuted in 1958 and became very popular among kids and adults alike. In 1974, Extra Crunchy Jif was introduced, to even bigger sales. In an effort to market to the health-conscious, the company introduced Simply Jif in 1991; this includes less sodium and sugar than regular Jif. Reduced Fat Jif was introduced in 1995.

Peanut butter was developed around 1890 as a nutritious, easy-to-eat food that provides protein and contains many vitamins and minerals. It's rich in niacin (a B vitamin) and is a good source of vitamin E. In addition, exciting new research highlights the positive qualities of unsaturated fat, a type of fat found in peanut butter. An article about the study conducted by researchers from Penn State University was published in the December 1999 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Best of all, with Creamy Jif you get more fresh-roasted peanut taste than with any other leading creamy brand.
