W.D. Huffman and the Indianapolis Pickle Industry

from Yesterday's Indianapolis

The tradition of hanging a pickle ornament on Christmas trees inspired this podcast about the W.D. Huffman Pickle Company, which operated on St. Clair Street near downtown Indianapolis. The company produced a variety of food items beyond their top billed product, and at times had run ins with state health authorities with concerns about the purity of the products they produced.Companion Blog Post: Kind of a Big Dill: The History of the W.D.
