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.

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.

During the 1890s, publications were inserted into Joseph Pulitzer‘s
New York World and William Randolph Hearst‘s New York Journal.
Hearst had the eight-page Women’s Home Journal and the 16-page Sunday American Magazine, which later became The American
Weekly.
In November 1896, Morrill Goddard, editor of the New York Journal
from 1896 to 1937, launched Hearst’s Sunday magazine, later commenting, "Nothing is so stale as yesterday’s newspaper, but
The American Weekly may be around the house for days or weeks
and lose none of its interest.

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.
