February 15, 1758 –
Mustard was first advertised for sale in America on this date, by Benjamin Jackson who had set up business in Globe Mills, Germantown, Philadelphia, selling mustard packed in glass bottles with his label on them.
In the Philadelphia Chronicle, he claimed to be “the original establisher of the mustard manufactory in American, and … at present, the only manufacturer on the continent,” and that he had brought the art with him from London to America. (And don’t worry, I’m sure that clown is long dead by now.)
