Few items on a holiday table were as ordinary as canned sweet corn, and this label, printed for C.G. Sawyer of Wilton, Maine, shows how a small-town packer marketed its goods under the Gilt Edge name. Canning spread through America in the later 1800s, and colorful printed paper labels helped one brand stand out on a crowded grocer's shelf. Labels like this one offer a glimpse of regional food businesses and of the Thanksgiving pantry, when home cooks often leaned on canned vegetables to round out the meal.
