Hellmann's Mayonnaise Advertisement

So many companies and products come and go within the course of just a few years, so I’m always amazed when I find an advertisement in a hundred-year-old magazine for a food that is still available.  According to Wikipedia, in the early 1900’s, Richard Hellmann owned a delicatessen in New York City. He made a tasty mayonnaise that he served with the deli foods. It was so popular that he began selling it to other stores, and in 1913 built a factory to produce Hellmann’s Blue Ribbon Mayonnaise.  The company has been sold several times, but Hellmann’s Mayonnaise (now available in several varieties) is still around.
