George Jewett was an important figure in Maine canning. He worked at, or with, the Winslow's canning corn, then moved on to Norridgewock to become superintendent of Burnham and Morrill Company there. Burnham and Morrill is still active in Maine but have stayed with B&M baked beans and brownbread, I'd suggest you try some.
