Don Surber: Ketchup with the Heinz legend:
Sales went well until the devastating Panic of 1873. Within three years their company was no more. Embittered by bankruptcy, the man took a government job and cursed capitalism for the rest of his life.
Of course not.
These vignettes are about Exceptional Americans. Exceptional Americans do not quit.
Exceptional Americans pick themselves up, dust themselves off, and start all over again, Overnight successes can take decades. Colonel Harlan Sanders was 66 and flat broke when he took his pressure cooker and 11 herbs and spices, hit the road, and founded Kentucky Fried Chicken.
And so it went with Henry John Heinz. Bankrupted at 32, Heinz vowed to pay back his bills and went right back into the business of selling condiments and other food items." ...
