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!
