Campbell: the man, the company, the legend.

Today we shall venture into the incredible world of Campbell's Soup's history. It was founded in 1869 by Joseph Campbell and Abraham Anderson. It was actually a big enterprise of canned vegetable, soups, tomatoes and jellies. When Anderson left in 1896, it was officially only Campbell's company. In 1898 a company executive convinced the company to put the can's colors as red, white and gold reflecting the colors of the Cornell University football team. This can did not changed much since this time. As time passed, it became a worldwide company, it's headquartered in New Jersey and people still love it as much as in the 20th century!
