| | Heinz: Relishing the Past |
 | | In 1941, with the U.S. at war and Heinz U.K. under attack (the Harlesden factory was bombed twice), Henry John 'Jack' Heinz II, only 33, and grandson of the Founder, took over as chief executive. |
 | | In 1969, Heinz celebrated its 100th anniversary and Gookin hired a young Irishman, Tony O'Reilly, to run Heinz U.K. That year, too, "Morris the 9-Lives Cat," joined "Charlie the Tuna" on the airwaves. |
 | | Inspired, though not bound, by tradition, Heinz will continue to build strategies based on the strength of its leading brands and the opportunities that lie ahead in such markets as foodservice, sauces and tomato products, infant feeding, frozen potatoes, weight-loss, pet food and tuna. |
