HISTORICAL NOTES:
Welch's grape juice was originally created in 1869 by Dr. Thomas Bramwell Welch, a Methodist minister and passionate teetotaler. He wanted to develop an unfermented, non-alcoholic "wine" specifically for church Communion services so congregants wouldn't have to consume alcohol.By the 1910s and 1920s, Welch’s heavily leaned into its identity as a wholesome, non-alcoholic alternative to liquor, running prominent national magazine advertisements branding itself as"The National Drink". This image was further solidified during theTemperance Movementand the onset ofProhibitionin 1920, positioning Welch's as the premier respectable beverage for all American families.
Watermanis one of the world's oldest and most prestigious writing instrument companies, founded in New York in 1884 by Lewis Edson Waterman and is known for inventing the first reliable fountain pen that prevented ink blotting.The brand later transitioned its manufacturing to France and is currently headquartered in Paris under the ownership of Newell Brands
