H.J. Heinz is hard work, innovation and obsessive kindness proved one of his favorite sayings quote to do a common thing uncommonly well bring success ears. Greg Hendler with the story of H.J. Heinz weight. The Heinz family saga begins with the determination of immigrants to make a better life for themselves. Beginning in the 1680s, many German immigrants took the long voyage across the Atlantic Ocean to Pennsylvania in 1843 John and Anna Hines both recent arrivals from Germany settle outside Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. John becomes a brick maker. The next year they have their first child, a boy, they name Henry John or HJ the Heinz family will grow to include nine children, four boys and five girls. One of their daughters. However dies when she is only a baby like many German immigrants, Mr. and Mrs. Hines believe the importance of hard work every day. HJ will pick up vegetables in the family garden before walking over a mile each way to his Lutheran school and back to school run by his church upon his arrival back. He will continue working in the plot until sunset. Henry's love of gardening is evident in the very first photo for his knuckles are visibly swollen from the hard work here's the president of the Heinz history Center Andy Mason and Hines biographer quit and scrape many of the other German immigrant boys here in Pittsburgh. He spoke with a German accent, though he went to American schools and he felt very much American was typical for German families to work as an economic unit. The children would do work like that.

But most of them didn't take it up as a career long term PC was her crate and saw Jackie make money here, but I can make a living here I can make a business out of Henry Hines was just 15 years old when he started his business in downtown he started by canning horseradish that his mother grew in her garden and sold it on the streets of Pittsburgh pushing a handcart wheelbarrow around and people love the product that he thought this, try some other things. Two years later his little business has grown so much that he now needs a horse to pull his car, he was very influenced by his mother. She knew how to play on his feeling and to encourage him when he was down learn some of those people skills from his mother, Anna Hines is a disciplined and devout Christian mother training and instructing her children with Bible lessons, stressing the importance of serving others and counting them as more significant than themselves was very religious. She converted to Lutheranism and she sent the young Henry to the Lutheran seminary nearby, thinking that maybe one day he would be a minister. She thinks this until she sees his love of the family garden. Here's former advertising executive at Hines Edwin. She made the children work from sunrise to sunset in this garden and HJ was the only one who favored it. In fact, he stayed out there long after the hours were over HJ's talent and passion are plain to see. So when he turns 12. His mother proudly presents her firstborn with 3 acres of land for his birthday. Young entrepreneur quickly develops and markets a growing line of produce and homemade condiments, and shortly after his little farm triples in size at 15 HJ quit school in order to focus entirely on his business waking at 3 AM so we can take his vegetables to stores in Pittsburgh, only to return home and work for his father making bricks.

Here's Harvard business school professor Nancy Cohen is a very successful Junior entrepreneur selling cabbage, cucumbers and zucchini and tomatoes off his wagon to neighbors has a growing list of custom from the very beginning from his earliest days of paddling, horseradish, door to door or from a wagon with his own force.

He wanted to make sure his customers got only pure food. HJ is obsessed with purity. As a Christian he associates purity with goodness. Fresh food is healthy food. This is an age when Americans are suspicious of factory made food and with good reason.

It is often packaged in filthy conditions and contains a stomach turning array of cheap fillers like leaves of wood pulp and chemical preservatives while his competitors use golden brown bottles to hide add-ins and imperfections. HJ makes a point of selling his mother's horseradish recipe in clear glass jars. HJ wants his customers to believe that the food he delivers is worth every penny they spend on, thanks to his mother's recipes and beliefs. People grow to trust the Heinz name and what a story this is and we will continue with the story of H.J. Heinz my goodness it sounds like so many of the other entrepreneurial stories.

Call your local State Farm agent for quote today and we continue with our American stories and the story of H. J. Hines started as a boy canning his mom's horseradish and again dropping out of school and just getting to work. We continue now with the story of H.J. Heinz thanks to his mother's recipes and beliefs. People grow to trust the Heinz name here again is the president of the Heinz history Center Andy Mason. Henry was always a meticulous man. He was a hard worker and he kept detailed notes he kept journals on record books and so he was not only mathematical but he had a human side to this kind of left and right knee. Both so he could figure out the formulas for things and keep good records but he was also a people person. In 1861, 17-year-old Henry sells $2400 worth of produce about $68,000 in today's money, and by 1866. Henry becomes a partner in his father's brick company and quickly makes changes at the time. Most Brickyard shut down for the winter. Henry decides to heat the small factory so I can stay open through the cold months that way the company will have a supply of bricks ready when the demand for bricks rises in the spring. In 1869, 25 years of age. HJ meet Sarah Young at his church, a daughter of Irish immigrants will bring his new household what his mother has to the old religious devotion in a stable emotional foundation on a train to New York to meet another couple planning to marry HJ spotting an opportunity to save money suggests that both couples share a minister and married the same day 1869 was also the year HJ in his neighborhood friend Clarence Noble started a company designed to sell horseradish pickles and sauerkraut across the eastern seaboard as HJ's company grows, so does his family, a daughter named Irene in 1871, and two years later, a boy named Clarence HJ and Sarah will have five children, one of the things he learned early on was that people weren't sure about canned products or things in jars. Sometimes people got sick eating the products of other people. So Henry found that he didn't put his labels on the jar. At first he put somebody else's label on the jar and nobody got sick again if people like that that he put his label on the next Heinz Noble company is profitable until 1875 when mistakes by Noble and the panic of 1873 suddenly threaten its existence. HJ turns to his father and a friendly banker who loaned the money even his wife pitches in five years and the company is bankrupt.

Here's Heinz biographer Eleanor Dean Stagg and Nancy: diaries read like a Dickensian novel. Their heart rending has boils his wife takes to bed. He's too depressed to go to church, which was unthinkable for him. His brother started to take to drink the whole family was collapsing.

Several creditors accuse him of basically falsifying his records and demand he be arrested. He is arrested, held in jail for a day and comes back the next day to face what is an ever mounting load of debts and unpaid bills.

It's Christmas Heinz can't even afford to buy a single present for their children. Here again is Heinz biographer quit and scrape probably one through one phase of real depression on and there was.

There were several months where he was pretty much immobilized and that HJ believes his friends are shunning. He writes mournfully have no money, so I have no friends his parents mortgage their house to raise funds only to see it repossessed creditors, and sell off his mother's furniture washing machine.

HJ can only watch helplessly as the crisis consumes his aging father. Here's Heinz family archivist Frank critic Henry J. Hines.

His father had raised a family home in America, immigrants, and he sees so much as life wiped out before his eyes. The elder Hines will never recover. Spending his final years in and out of sanitarium's broken man. Through this and other dark moments in his life. HJ is anchored by his twin beliefs. Belief in God and God's unshakable plan for his life just two months after the bankruptcy on New Year's Day 1876 HJ picks himself up and asks the only people to have stayed by his side. His family to help them start a new business together they formed the Heinz food company. The whole family pitches in, and his mother and sisters begin bottling horseradish in the basement of their home. Starting a brand-new company on a slim budget. HJ has to travel by foot to the vegetable fields to have a horse again. He buys himself a bargain, a blind horse healed a lot of people in Pittsburgh money a lot of grocers and so forth. He made a pledge that he would pay them back in the league lead in half. That was one of the key things in his life as well.

He spent for five years repaying back grocers, farmers and suppliers through his leadership. HJ guides to Heinz food company to immediate success, taking special pleasure in culinary innovations experiment like a woman goes along, and his notebooks are chockablock full of fascinating recipes. Everything from peanut fire which he does not pursue baked beans which he does very successfully to chutney in 1876 he creates the condiment that future generations will associate with his name.

Here again is Edwin Lou who, when he was in England he noticed that they had a product called catch-up which was made of fish and different ingredients and different spices is very spicy condiment and he liked it and he thought I wonder if we substituted tomatoes for the fish. What that would taste like.

This is how we get the word catch-up comes from the Chinese word catch-up which is a kind of fish sauce here again is enemies. Yes, it is good. Catch-up was probably invented in China thousand years ago, but H.J. Heinz brought it to a new level. There are several types of catch up in the 19th century, but none of them sell particularly well. Apart from Heinz. No one sees potential in the red vegetable sauce.

Pittsburgh is home of the steel industry. But it's also center for glassmaking. Unlike his competitors, Heinz believes that his customers should be able to see the bright red catch-up.

This however has a drawback you looking to catch a bottle sometimes it gets kind of dark and rubbery kind of oxidized near the top what he knew that people would be put off by saying that so he put a paper label near the neck of the bottle so the product looked red and beautiful.

Heinz builds a new factory which still stands today as an industrial monument in Pittsburgh.

The factory is one of the first in the country run on electricity and Hines will be the first to put up an electric billboard in New York City. The Pittsburgh headquarters site offers easy access to the Allegheny River and railroad lines.

The whole neighborhood smells of vinegar. Then as now the main preservative as indispensable as HJ is to the company.

He's just as valuable to his church. He is especially dedicated to teaching the children about the Bible and the Christian faith at Sunday school. In fact, HJ will travel all over the world in order to promote the idea of Sunday school. HJ is also known for his generosity, he will build a boarding home for homeless children, the poor will count on him for a meal and he will often loaned money to his customers so they can stay in business. Heinz places factory in the midst of Andrew Carnegie steel factory and rival steelmakers.

But Heinz's revenues will one day surpass those of his larger neighbors H.J. Heinz was an intuitive marketer. He had a sense of how to sell things and although he didn't invent catch-up. He marketed it better than anyone in the world and when we come back more of his great Americans for this great expert story here on our American story millions will make Medicare coverage decisions for next year and United healthcare can help you feel confident about your choices for those eligible Medicare annual enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7.

Did you know that near attack ODT were magic pant 75 mg can help migraine sufferers still set an exciting event. Windows hang out. It's true.

Call your local State Farm agent for quote today and we continue here with our American stories in the life of H.J. Heinz.

Let's pick up when we last left off, catch up quickly becomes the linchpin of HD's growing business. By the mid-1880s with the expansion of the railroad.

The Heinz companies selling dozens of products.

In all corners of the United States and every railroad cars company uses the Heinz name is proudly displayed on its side in Pittsburgh.

People see teams of horses pulling wagons, carrying Heinz products in the company name is always printed on each wagon grocery stores post in their ads that they carry the popular Heinz brand H.J. Heinz believe that if people tasted his product they would certainly buy and he had an elaborate system for his sales staff to take out to stores and grocery stores, little packages of samples he had cardboard spoons that people could taste and then throw away. I hear chafing dishes and different pots that people could sample things in the store and when they tried it they liked it and they bought it. But with success comes competition. Heinz's competitors copies ideas and methods Heinz has to fight to survive, and not always by the fairest means when he wanted to run other people out of business. He bought up all the glass bottles in town and use all that he could and those that he couldn't used to put on our and sank the barge in the Allegheny River so nobody else. Heinz's dealings with the staff at the factory are colored by a completely different client. Here again is Nancy Cohen, 19 72,000 railroad cars were destroyed in the mop rioting in the National Guard was called in and 29 killed.

Besides, this is not going to be my future.

This reinforces his determination to create a different kind of organization where his labor is content where his labor is motivated, where his labor is industrious in an age when horses are often treated better than the workers.

Henry Heinz embraces his employees, his family in the Heinz factory is a restaurant and rooftop gardens free carriage rides an indoor swimming pool and gymnasium doctors and dentist at a time when many people did not have plumbing employees can shower and bathe in the factory. HJ promotes women managers to supervise his predominantly female workforce create some of the best incentive pay for women in the nation.

HJ takes poor immigrant wives and daughters teaches them English and homemaking skills and prepares them for their citizenship tests.

These women receive freshly laundered aprons and bonds daily and there's even a daily manicure for food handlers. HJ believes that the hands that work with the food should be as germ-free as possible. At the end of the day. This all adds to the products quality and shelflife.

HJ knows that happy well cared for. Employees will stay on the job, work hard not be interested in causing trouble, and he delights in saying our power is stronger than horsepower.

Here again is Edwin people I came to work and they were down and try to put his hand around them and said, well, better days are ahead. This is what we should do this, I can cope with your problem. Let me help you out and he did this with the employees of the company and they idolized him he became a father to practically every employee in the company. HJ will travel throughout the country meeting with customers and giving pep talks to his sales force is enthusiasm and confidence is contagious. The passion he has for selling vegetables.

As a young boy never leaves him HJ's policies create a productive workforce of anchors company's unique public image, here's Henry Ford Museum curator Judith Andelman. He was really one of the founders of what today we call public relations to his use of branding and a clear identity for his company. Corporate giveaways and keeping his company in the public eye in so many different ways. Henry is the first to initiate the factory tour inviting the general public to view the immaculate conditions under which Heinz products are packaged by 1900 20,000 guests a year are passing through his factory gates.

In 1986, 40-year-old Henry Heinz takes his family on a vacation to Europe to visit his parents homeland of Germany.

The first stop is England, where he immediately visits the graves of his Christian heroes John Bunyan Isaac Watts and John Wesley Heinz rights.

I felt I was upon holy ground for his trip. HJ is brought samples of some of his best products like his catchup and horseradish with the suitcase of Heinz products he journeys to London calls on Fortman Mason purveyor of fine food to the royal family here again is Edwin Lou and Eleanor Dean Jack struck his whiskers on his top hat person right into the front door with an awesome sales. He went and showed his products and talked about the man had sampled products. They said I believe we will take them all. Everybody was shocked including H.J. Heinz at this time. Nobody in Europe buys food from America.

It's HJ's first step towards running a global company. Heinz is always been part of the progressive wing of the Republican Party, which supports the expansion of American business in Asia, the American administration saw China and Japan is the key to the Orient.

Heinz saw things differently there were the keys to the Orient in both business and the acceptance of Sunday school because of Heinz's missionary passion planning and financial backing, Sunday schools prosper all over Asia. Heinz is taken small business he started with his family 11 years earlier and turned it into a food producing giant here again is anime sick. Heinz believed in pure foods.

He built his brand on the fact that his product was better than anyone else's deal. We said the secret to success is to do a common thing uncommonly well. HJ discovers ideas in unlikely places.

In a chance encounter in 1892 inspires a world-famous advertising slogan seeing that 57 on his product. Well, the story behind that is he was going to New York City on a business trip and he was on an elevated train as he looked out the window, he saw a billboard that said 23 styles of shoe's 23 styles of shoes.

That's pretty impressive.

I wonder how many products I have started counting them up in his head. There, or 55 657 57 interesting looking number.

He liked the look of it when he got home he found out he really had many more products and 50 somebody like the number so much that he decided to put it on all of his labels he put it in whitewashed stone on hillsides on billboards everyplace he branded his company with Heinz 57, 57, is one of the greatest marketing ideas of all time. It promises diversity while remaining manageable and so Heinz 57, has entered the American lexicon. And when we come back more the life of H.J. Heinz and my goodness you're learning so much about not just the product not just about the man about about his faith and how it intertwines with venison inescapable part of every part of this great business in the idea of making the best product. Product just come straight from who he is and yet this same guy and sort of got the number 57 because he just likes the look of it just drives it home and nobody knew branding better than H.J. Heinz.

When we come back the rest of his life story here on our American story millions will make Medicare coverage decisions for next year and United healthcare can help you feel confident about your choices for those eligible Medicare annual enrollment runs from October 15 through December 7. If you're working past age 65.

State Farm is in your corner and on like that neighbor there. Call your local State Farm agent for quote today and we continue with the life story of H.J. Heinz here on our American stories, and now the very last part of this terrific story. The distinctive style of his own. He had very distinctive whiskers like whiskers and kind of his hair brushed back.

He was a character. He had a sense of himself. But above all, Heinz is clever in 1893. H.J. Heinz went to the Columbian exposition. That's the world's fair in Chicago and they gave him a boost or place to show his wares on the third floor of the exhibit hall. Well, nobody at the world's fair was climbing three sets of stairs to go up to the third floor so Heinz came up with an idea on the spur of the moment. He printed little old luggage tags, gold foil on it and he printed on the back of the tag bring to the Heinz booth on the third floor for a free prize and people would be strolling along arm in arm, and they would catch the glint of gold on the corner of their eyes and they pick it up and they think will look we could bring it to the free prize and so they trooped up the steps by the hundreds by the thousands, by the hundreds of thousands people were going up to the third floor and they found the Heinz booth and they saw his pyramids of catchup and pickles and it was the hit of the fair after 20 years in business. H.J. Heinz company is the largest food processing company in the United States with a workforce of 23,000 people. His mansion occupies one corner of a grand Street in the east end of Pittsburgh's immediate neighbors are named Westinghouse Carnegie and Mellon in 1894 Sarah Hines dies of typhoid on Thanksgiving day at the age of 74 H rights the darkest day we ever knew Heinz will never marry again, typhoid is the number one killer in the Pittsburgh area due to the dirty water. HT will promote finance and lead a commission on smoke abatement sewage control and water filtration plants that will eliminate the 100 year plague of typhoid fever.

By 1904 HJ is selling his products on all six inhabited continents, decades before Coca-Cola or McDonald's become symbols of the international economy. Heinz products are found in all corners of the world.

The American son of German immigrants has made himself world famous.

He is changed eating habits. Convincing customers that eating food made in an unknown factory thousands of miles distant, can be as good if not better than homemade here again is quit and screamed main competition for most of his life was not other competitors as much is the house is competing against the home preserving group in 1906, the 62-year-old Henry Hines will willingly risk everything he has achieved to defend a point of principle. Suddenly the entire food business comes under attack. When Upton Sinclair's novel the jungle exposes horrendous conditions in Chicago meatpacking plants and outraged public demands federal regulation, but all the food processing companies oppose the controls all except one would Hines supports the pure food and drug act of 1906. He's branded a traitor.

Competitors boycott his products and threatens life. HJ is courageous and stands firm as he is fond of saying quality is to a product. What character is, to a man is competitors realize that if they are forced to meet the standards. He is always lived by.

They will go out of business wall of American food processing industry. Catchup manufacturers are opposing this legislation hears Hines supporting this legislation or you can imagine. He quickly got support of magazines like good housekeeping and so forth.

And consumers, pouring legislation, so it was good commercial advertising and marketing HJ arouses further wrath when he personally lobbies president Theodore Roosevelt. Hines even convinces Roosevelt that without food quality oversight. Even his beloved scotch might not be pure with Roosevelt support the landmark, pure food and drug act became the law that protects consumers from toxic additives and fraud. Roosevelt declares a man should be able to drink the whiskey in the evening without jeopardizing his the very end of his days. HJ lives of very vigorous lifestyle. He considers himself a simple workingman and never loses his common touch, still rolling up his sleeves and joining the workers in the field. Hines is a colorful character on his 71st birthday. He is asked how he feels, he doesn't say anything. He just jumps over a chair in 1918, following end of World War I HJ 74 years old and still goes to the factory every day and on Sundays involves himself in his church. In May 1919.

HJ has what appears to be a simple cold but is soon apparent that his pneumonia, the founder of the Henry John Hines food company dies peacefully in his home at the age of 74 tributes pouring in from all around the world, but none would have meant more to him than the grief of his corporate family here again they all became so close to him when he passed away there in tears. They rang bells in the company is a day of mourning, the Hines employees feel as though they've lost a father in the pool their resources to commission a sculpture of the beloved founder and is will Henry writes I desire to set forth at the very beginning of this will is the most important item in it, a confession of my faith in Jesus Christ as my Savior. He then requests that a church be built in memory of his mother now stands on the University campus in Pittsburgh over the years the Hines company will continue to innovate in 1968 is the first company to offer catchup and small to go packets in 1983. Hines introduces the first squeezable plastic bottle for catchup catchup is in 90% of all American homes and Hines has double the catchup market share of its nearest competitor. Today the company employs more than 33,000 people and sells more than 650 million bottles of ketchup every year in Pittsburgh. The company's legacy is present everywhere Hines field is home of the Pittsburgh Steelers. Heinz Hall is dedicated to the performing arts in the Heinz endowments foundation is the city's most important sponsor. Here again is anime sick in HJ's great-great-grandson, Andre Hines was one of the first people to really understand global market was also someone who understood good branding. How important a name was and how important consumer confidence was in building a business and of course Hines company as it was during his lifetime I think was a manifestation of his worldview, which is against you do right by the people and that is no room for big, sloppy, or for selling out like I'm Greg Engler and this is our American stories and what a story in one man builds a global brand, but in the end what he really did was impact his neighborhood, the city of Pittsburgh drive around it walk around Heinz Field. Hines all Heinz endowments still to this day, this man's work this man's faith still being felt in the great city of Pittsburgh.
