Campbell & Anderson
Campbell & Anderson
Campbell's original founders, Joseph Albert Campbell and Abraham Anderson, were born May 15, 1817 and circa 1832, respectively. With Campbell being a wholesale produce vendor and Anderson being a commercial canner and packer, together they conceived the business that, to this day, still holds the title as the top soup production company in the modern world. Although the partnership eventually dissolved, the dream did not and Campbell's was fanned into a flame so bright that it forever changed much of the food industry. At the turn of the century, Campbell passed in his hometown of Riverton, New Jersey on March 27, 1900. Abraham passed some years later on June 10, 1915, also in his family home in Haddonfield, New Jersey.

Campbell's first ever soup, the Tomato Beefsteak, is born, featuring the New Jersey Beefsteak tomato. The iconic tomato remained as a part of the logo and emblem of Campbell's, with the tomatoes having been apart of the company ever since. Later on in 1934, the infamous condensed chicken with noodle and cream of chicken soups would come to be as a result, products that remain Campbell's most popular item.

Campbell's revolutionizes itself with the invention of the mass producing of condensing soup in smaller packaging: cans. With this invention comes even bigger production, resulting in Campbell's first official factory. The original concept of the mass canning was conceived by John T. Dorrance, who would become president of the company in 1914.
