Synopses & Reviews
From Ace Hardware to Ziploc, the products and logos featured in this lavishly illustrated, story-filled reference have captured the hearts and minds of American consumers. Each brand began with a spark of genius: Earle Dickinson invented the Band-Aid for his accident-prone wife, Josephine. Hector Boiardi's pasta sauce was so good that patrons of his restaurant asked for extra helpings to take home, and Chef Boyardee was born. This is a compulsively readable history of American brand icons.
