Stringless beans were a selling point on this label, which promised a vegetable that was easier to prepare than the older snap beans that needed stringing before cooking. The stringless variety was popularized in the 1890s, and canners quickly built brand identities around it. Canned vegetables like these became a common part of American kitchens in the early 1900s, and by the middle of the century canned green beans had found a regular place on the Thanksgiving table. Labels like this one show how packers used bright lithography and a brand name to win over home cooks.
