This is a fun find! We have Pillbury’s Best, Gold Medal, and Red Star – all lasting through the ages. Alas, no Hamilton’s Fancy, Plant’s Extra, Patapsco (great word), or King of All.

I was surprised that 3 of the 8 flour brands in this 1881 advertisement still exist. I might have guessed that the ratio would be much lower.

I thought the same thing! You see companies from the early 1900s that are still around, but not some much from the 1800s. As they say, it’s the staff of life!
