Sometimes we forget that actual people were behind some of those iconic
brand names. The Knott family actually ran a berry patch and farm stand
at the location of the theme park. They eventually sold the park to an
amusements operator called "Cedar Fair" in 2015 - a couple of years 
after Con-Agra gobbled up their food operations.

Bob Evans was a real person. I've been by his home farm near Rio Grande
Ohio in southeastern Ohio several times.

And Smucker's in Oroville, Ohio which I discovered on the way to the
NFL Hall of Fame in Canton, Ohio (near Akron). Smuckers was the more
interesting of the attractions. Jerome (J. M.) Smucker began his food
selling business packaging apple butter which was a by-product of the
main (at that time) business of running a cider mill.  Bv)=  Sometimes
tha tail wags the dog.
