THE CAROLINIAN— 2Oeh Awthmwa&y Edititm WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 28, 1981 Jesse Jones Products T ops In State The thought to give city folk the sir.d of sausage that they enjoyed inly when they visited their rels ives in the country was responsi ble for Jesse Jones Sausage. And the slogan "The Ikon Makes t Different” provided the answer whenever people asked Major Jesse tones why his sausage was so much Afferent from any other pork sau tage on the market. Major Jones was bora at Dry Fork, in the foothills of Vir ginia, near Danville, in 1881. For generations, his family had farmed, hot at the age of 19, young Jones became a business man by opening a country store. Later retiring from his store. Ma :or Jones began to raise pigs but toon found that, because there was to livestock market in the ares. he tad more grown pigs on hand than ais family could consume. The question “what's to be done with all the grown pigs?" arose lesse Jones then realized that he was in the position to give the :ity people a sausage which they Enjoyed only when they visited :heir folks in the country at ‘ ho ? rilling time.’ He could provide sau sage lovers with fresh sausage the year round in lieu of eating canned ;ausage in jars during the spring ind summer months. Jesse Jones immediately made an experiment to see how the public would respond to his idea of providing "Whole Hog Sausage” to the city folks year round. The distribution was simple as he had a m>tv. route ip. Danville where he person ally delivered butter-milk and butter to his consumers at their homes three days a week. He, with the assistance of his wife. Miss Annie, as she was called KENTUCKY STRAIGHT BOURBON WHISKEY Old TffijQß 86 PROOF m m mux distillery kl, mnttm & unimmuje. i». SSTMBUTED ffl NATIONAL DISTILLERS PRODUCTS COMPANY in the neighborhood, ground the whole into sausage and wrapped it In plain butter pa per in the family kitchen. The sausage was accepted with such enthusiasm that the merchants insisted that the sausage be made available for their stores. The ad vertising was the most effective in the advertising field and without cost—w-ord of mouth. Os course Jesse Jones could not raise pigs in sufficient number to make enough sausage to meet the demand. That meant that he, and his sons, had to go to neighboring farms for pigs to be ground into Jones Sausage. Miss Annie put her foot down on grinding and packaging so much sausage in her kitchen, so, indirectly she was respon sible for the construction of the building which houses the Jones Sausage Company near Danville. After World War It, Major Jesse Jones made another experiment. He had an idea that he could process excellent hot dogs and bologna along with his quality country sau sage since quality pc-k. his first love and beef are the main ingre dients of hot dogs and bologna. Os course Jesse Jones realized that the better the quality of pork and beef, the better the hot dogs and bologna. His hot dogs and bologna were ac cepted with the same enthusiasm as his country pure sausage. During 1947, his brother-in-law, George D. Richardson of Raleigh, approached him With the idea of bringing his famous pork sausage, hot dogs, and bologna to North Carolina. Jesse 'Jones placed this responsibility on his four sons, namely, Earl, Cassell, Garland, and Reginald (now deceased!. Jones Sausage processed it* first pound Ln North Carolina on a 100-acre farm near Garner In February, 194*. The business in North Carolina mushroomed overnight. Extensive advertis ing in newspapers, on radio and TV was employed Major Jones died in May 195(1, but the present generation of Joneses have heeded strictly to the founder's policies, i.e., making the best possible pork sausage, hot dogs and bologna, and then pricing them accordingly. One of the Jones slo gans is COSTS MORE, WORTH FAR MORE. Sales have increased in volume over the years. During 1960, the Garner plant sold over seven mil lion pounds in North Carolina and the sales of the Danville, Va., plant were in excess of five million pounds.
