Folgers Coffee
In 1872, James Folgers bought out the other partners of The Pioneer Steam Coffee and Spice Mills and renamed the company J. A. Folger & Co. After his death in 1889, under the leadership of his son, James A Folger, II, the company expanded dramatically. Its principal product was bulk-roasted coffee, which was delivered to grocery stores in sacks and drums and was stored in bins to be scooped out for the customer. In 1963 the Procter & Gamble Company (P&G) of Cincinnati, OH, acquired the Folgers Coffee Company and began national distribution of the products under the name Folgers.
