Description

The Joseph Burnett Company was incorporated in 1895. Joseph’s sons, Harry (treasurer) and Robert (interim president), and John T., who later (1907) became president of the company, continued the manufacturing policy of their father, which was to make the very finest extracts that could be made and advertise the fact to the consumer. The wisdom of this policy can be discerned in the steady growth of the sales, which by the 1920’s necessitated the building of a fine new factory, equipped with all the latest machinery for manufacturing, packaging and handling the various products. In 1919, after a careful market analysis, it was decided that fine spices could be handled to advantage, and so Burnett’s Spices, the choicest grown in the tropics, were added to the extract line. During the 1920’s thru the 1940’s, the Burnett Company added Mint Jelly, Marshmallow, Flavored Puddings, a Liquid-Mix for making Ice Cream and Sherbet, a Ready-Mix Powder for making ice cream, and a Pie Crust and Muffin Mix. Many different flavors and colors were added to the extract, food coloring, and paste products. At this time Burnett’s boasted 29 extract flavors. The Joseph Burnett Company, a division of American [Home] Foods, Inc., and known for more than a century for its flavoring extracts and food colorings, introduced instant puddings of chocolate, butterscotch, and, of course, vanilla in 1951.
