Cracker Jack Manufacturer Changes Name 1921

The confectionery manufacturing firm of Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein, Inc., of Chicago and Brooklyn, has dropped all personalities from its corporate name and henceforth will be known as the Cracker Jack Company, in honor of its principal product.

The change, which has just been announced on the occasion of the company's fiftieth anniversary, was made after the discovery that only an infinitesimal percentage of the people who bought and ate Cracker Jack had any idea who made it. Neither did they care.

Therefore, as something having real advertising value that could be capitalized upon in the merchandising of other confections, the name of Rueckheim Bros. & Eckstein had practically no significance or value.

On the other hand, there was Cracker Jack, which had been so universally popularized through long years of consistent advertising that it had come to be regarded as a generic term.
