Label TextBottles such as these, filled with a variety of Heinz products, could be found in the elaborate Heinz display at the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893. One of many Pittsburgh companies with a prominent presence at the fair—along with Westinghouse and Ferris’ wheel— Heinz showcased their products to a world audience.
