= **Henry J Heinz** = = **Hello, my name is Henry John Heinz. You may reconize my name from my ketchup. I'm going to tell you about my life. SHHH! The story's starting. I was born on October 11 1844 in Pittsburg PA. I died on May 14 1919 in Pittsburg PA. I lived for almost 75 years. My parents were John Henry Heinz and Anna Margaretta Schmidt. I came from a very rich family. I was a child with seven other brothers and sisters.** = = **When I was 9 years old I started grinding horseradish for my Mom and delivering it around town. I used horse rides to get from Pittsburg and back to sell the horseradish at the food store. A year later I received 3/4 of an acre of land. Three years after that I recived 2 3/4 more acres. I used that land to plant horseradish.** = = **In 1869 I got married to Sahrah Sloan Young. Soon later I had kids; four boys and a girl.** = = When I was 25 in 1870 my friend Claurence Noble and I made the Heinz Noble and co. We made delicious horseradish. In 1875 the Heinz Noble and co. went bankrupt because Claurence and I made our prices on horseradish too high. = = In 1876 I created my most common product. My Heinz ketchup. At first I went to peoples homes and deliver my ketchup by basket, the push cart and then by horse and buggy. They then started to call it the "Heinz Hitch". Then My ketchup turned into a giant company. I provided more than half the worlds ketchup. Then I started thinking about what my slogan should be. For some reason I liked the number 57. So my slogan was 57 varieties (Even though there were 60 different varieties). = = I served as 1st president of my company until I died. I gave that spot in my company to my son Harry. = = That's all about me, Henry J. Heinz. = = Resorces = = Websites = = []- J - Heinz = = [] = = [] -j- heinz = = = = =
