On this episode of Our American Stories, long before Heinz Ketchup became a fixture in American kitchens, Henry John Heinz was a young entrepreneur selling bottled horseradish from his mother’s garden in Pittsburgh. He believed that honesty and quality could build a brand, and he lived by the motto, “To do a common thing uncommonly well brings success.” As his brand grew, his glass bottles set a new standard for purity while the Heinz 57 varieties became a household phrase. Guided by his belief that good business begins with good character, H.J. Heinz turned an everyday product into a legacy that still endures more than a century later. Our own Greg Hengler shares the story of this American original.
