right French’s is an American manufacturer of prepared mustard condiment. Created by Robert Timothy French, French’s “Cream Salad Brand” mustard debuted to the world at the 1904 St. Louis World’s Fair. By 1921, French’s Mustard had adopted its trademark pennant and begun advertising to the general public. French's is owned by Reckitt Benckiser plc. ==History== Brothers Robert and George French bought a flour mill in 1883 in Fairport, New York. It burned down in 1884 and they relocated the flour mill to Rochester, New York. They named their mill the R.T. French Company. Robert French died in 1893 and brother George became company president. George (who developed the creamy yellow mustard) and another brother, Francis, introduced French’s mustard in 1904. In 1926, French’s was sold to J. & J. Colman of the United Kingdom a company that as well as its own mustard brand produced home care products such as Lysol, Reckit’s Blue and Brasso, as well as other products such as the Frank's Red Hot condiment line.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=French's® Mustard History )〕 In 1928, the ''Atlantis Sales Corporation'' was formed as a subsidiary of R. T. French to handle sales and distribution of French’s, Reckitt, and Colman products. Atlantis remained a separate entity through the nineteen-fifties In 1960, French’s purchased L. C. Forman and Sons Pickle Company of Pittsford, NY. Forman produced a variety of pickle products, including a well-known piccalilli relish. In 1965, French’s introduced a new line of “Cattlemen’s” barbecue sauce. The line was inaugurated with the trip of a horse-drawn “chuck wagon” from Buffalo, New York, across upstate New York to New York City and then to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in June, 1965. In 1970, the company purchased Widmer Wine Cellars of Naples, New York. The winery was sold in 1983. In 1985, the company sold its instant potato operations in Shelley, Idaho, to Pillsbury. In 1986, Reckitt and Colman acquired Durkee Famous Foods; in 1987, the two companies’ headquarters were consolidated in New Jersey. For many years, the fictitious “Carol French” was the face of the company. Her name appeared on numerous recipes and cookbooks, the oldest of which may be ''Dining Delights'' from 1948.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Dining Delights )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「French's」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
