Welch's Grape Juice Company: In 1869 Dr. Thomas Bramwell Welch, a physician and dentist by profession, successfully pasteurizes Concord grape juice to produce an "unfermented sacramental wine" for fellow parishioners at his church in Vineland, N.J., where he is communion steward. His achievement marks the beginning of the processed fruit juice industry. In 1945, due to World War II there was a shortage of grape juice. Welch's is still in operation today.
Hazel Atlas: From the beginnings of a small company in a little village known as Washington, PA came the Largest Glass Manufacturer in the World from 1902 to 1956 till the buyout by Continental Can Co. Although, Continental Can continued to produce some lines and introduced new lines under the Hazelware label until 1963 when the US Government ordered the break up of Continental Can in a much publicized Anti- trust lawsuit (US vs. Continental Can Co). Hazel Atlas applied for and received in 1936 a US Patent for this glass known as Platonite, being the first and only company ever to receive a patent for a color of glass.
