In the 1960s, I recall our family boycotted White House Apple Sauce. It as because the ownership of the company (according to the company's web site, it was the Armstrong family of Winchester Va) was either anti civil rights or anti semitic or anti Israel).
I'm not sure if this information was correct or not; nor can I find any easily available web site which explains what the allegation was and whether the allegation had been investigated.
I remembered this today as I was purchasing some White House Apple Sauce, which carries a certification of kashrut from the Union of Orthodox Rabbis.

Martin's memories preceding the chronicles, i.e., before 1986. The reason for this blog is to capture old memories that come back to me at seemingly random times. Thus the entries will not be in chronological order. Also, the accuracy of this blog is less than the accuracy in the more contemporaneous blog http://weisschronicles.blogspot.com/
