POPULAR MAGAZINE FIRST PUBLISHED

December 17 1892 | Vogue

On December 17, 1892, Arthur Baldwin Turnure first published
a
new magazine, dedicated to “the ceremonial side of life”
and targeted at “the sage as well as the debutante, men of
affairs as well as the belle.” 

As a product of the Gilded Age, Vogue has chronicled and
influenced high society, fashion and culture ever since.

Publisher Condé Nast purchased Vogue in 1905, changing it
to focus almost entirely on women and fashion and creating
the first of its international editions (there are now over 20).

The magazine has remained popular and relevant ever since,
regularly featuring the work of world-famous models, writers
and photographers.

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.
