ICONIC BRAND NAME HAS BEEN CHANGED

Vintage Postcard - Campbell's Kids Soup Advertising Card No. 3, 1910 | Campbell soup, Vintage ...
1910

CAMDEN, N.J. (WKRC/CNN Newsource) – One of the United States’
most iconic brands has changed its name.

Campbell’s Soup shareholders have officially approved a name
change for the iconic brand allowing the company to drop "Soup"
from its corporate title. The company will now be known as "The Campbell’s Company."

Leaders of the company explained that the decision reflects the
broader scope of Campbell’s offerings beyond soup.

The company said that there’s more to Campbell’s these days
than just soup, noting that soup now constitutes a smaller
portion of the company’s overall sales.

The company was started in 1869 by Joseph A. Campbell, a
fruit merchant from
Bridgeton, New Jersey, and Abraham
Anderson
, an icebox manufacturer from South Jersey.They
produced canned
tomatoes, vegetables, jellies, soups,
condiments, and minced meats.

BIG MYSTERY BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1971

The mystery of DB Cooper: Hijacker parachutes from jet (1971) - Click Americana

Longtime DB Cooper suspect dies at 94, leaving mystery of daring hijacker unsolved | The Independent
Sketches of the mysterious DB Cooper compiled from descriptions by passengers and crew from the hijacked
flight. (FBI)

A hijacker who became known as D.B. Cooper parachuted from
a Northwest Orient Airlines 727 into a raging thunderstorm over
Washington State. He had $200,000 in ransom money in his
possession. His brazen
crime still stands as one of the most
mysterious in history.

Most authorities have assumed he died during his seemingly
suicidal jump. No trace of Cooper was ever found after a massive 
search. 
       
Cooper’s true identity has never been determined conclusively.

Cooper commandeered the aircraft shortly after takeoff, showing
a flight attendant something that looked like a bomb and informing
the crew that he wanted $200,000, four parachutes, and “no funny
stuff.” The plane landed at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport,
where authorities met Cooper’s demands and evacuated most of
the passengers.

WESTERN OUTLAW WAS BORN ON THIS DAY

Billy The Kid Color : Billy the kid tees & co: - x-thatgirl

The infamous Western outlaw known as “Billy the Kid” was
mostly likely born in a poor Irish neighborhood on New York
City’s East Side on November 23, 1859. (Much about his early
life is unknown or unverified.) Before he was
shot dead at age
21, Billy reputedly killed at least nine people in the American
West.

Billy the Kid called himself William H. Bonney, but his original
name was probably Henry McCarty. Bonney was his mother
Catherine’s maiden name, and William was the first name of
his mother’s longtime companion—William Antrin—who acted
as Billy’s father after his biological father disappeared.
