Description
William
Charles
Ball
and his
five
brothers
began
manufacturing
wood
jacketed
tin
cans
in
Buffalo
,
New
York
in
1880
.
Soon
after
the
Ball
brothers
switched
to
making
glass
containers
, the
factory
suffered
a
devastating
fire
.
When
the
city
of
Muncie
,
Indiana
offered
the
brothers
free
natural
gas
, a
critical
element
for
glass-making
, they
moved
the
business
to
Indiana
. By the
mid-twentieth
century
the
Ball
Corporation
had
become
one
of the
most
prosperous
jar
makers
in the
country
. This
jar
measures
7.15
"
x
3.66
"
x

"
(18
x

x

cm)
.
During
World
War
II
,
conserving
garden
produce
for
later
consumption
became
a
vital
activity
to
support
the
war
effort
.
Canning
and
drying
food
was
essential
to
increasing
the
food
supply
on the
home
front
, for
troops
abroad
, and for
hungry
citizens
of
Allied
nations
. The
canning
process
prevented
fruits
and
vegetables
from
spoiling
. By
removing
oxygen
from
jars
holding
produce
,
undesirable
bacteria
would not be
able
to
grow
.
Good
vacuums
created
in
canning
jars
formed
tight
seals
that
keep
liquid
in and
air
out
.
