Abstract

"Cover Story" piece on B & M Baked Beans of Portland, which is named after George Burnham and Charles Morrill, who founded a vegetable canning business in Portland in 1867. In 1913, the company moved to its current location, and by the late 1920s had perfected a method of baking and canning beans that made all its other products obsolete. The plant produces 2.362 million cases of beans a year and, in the process, goes through 12 million pounds of beans, 1.3 million pounds of molasses, and 500,000 pounds of salt pork. With details about the process.
