Label TextFounded in 1883 by William Gorman and D. J. Dyson, the Forest City Spice Mills first products included coffee, baking powder, extracts and spices, with olives added to the line in 1890. That same year, D. J. Dyson left the business and R. C. Eckert joined it. Renamed the Gorman, Eckert & Company, it continued to package and sell coffee, spices, and flavouring extracts. By 1900, the company had added catsup, salad dressings, and mustard.
