Heinz Brand Symbolic of Pittsburgh from the Associated Press
"A company with its roots in a teenager selling bottles of horseradish is now as much a symbol of Pittsburgh as steel. The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra performs at Heinz Hall. The city’s regional history museum is named for the ketchup patriarch’s grandson, the late U.S. Sen. John Heinz. One of the city’s richest charities is fueled by the Heinz family fortune. Love-struck couples wait for months to be married at Heinz Memorial Chapel, the family’s Gothic limestone gift to the University of Pittsburgh campus. And, of course, the city’s beloved Steelers play their home games at Heinz Field. Those are just a few reasons why the $28 billion sale of the ketchup-making food giant H.J. Heinz Co. resonates so profoundly with Pittsburghers."
