Maxwell House Coffee
In 1892 a coffee blend developed by Joel Cheek for the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, TN became so popular that the hotel owner ordered no other coffee to be served to his guests. This special blend soon became known as MAXWELL HOUSE coffee. In 1907 while on a visit to "The Hermitage" home of Andrew Jackson in Nashville, Tennessee, President Theodore Roosevelt is served a cup of MAXWELL HOUSE coffee and comments that it is "Good to the Last Drop." On August 1, 1928 the company name is changed to the Maxwell House Products Company. A year later the company name is changed to General Foods Corporation.
