Parker House sausage is known primarily as a Chicago-midwest and southern cultural phenomenon, however initially it received national distribution and recognition. In the 1930s, sales manager M. E. Woodson focused on expanding the brand throughout the United States, and in 1939, during a speech in Washington DC, he noted that total sales had doubled in the prior year. In 1978, company president Daryl Grisham was awarded twice by the Small Business Administration. After expanding their product line for many years, the company began discontinuing certain items and now focuses primarily on niche markets, with polish sausage, smoked sausage, hot links and head cheese, among others. 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「Parker House Sausage Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
