Bologna to Be Big Thing Soon in Pella History
In Pella Iowa Bologna became a thriving local product since 1868 when John Ulrich started making it. His son in law L N Vander Linden and Arie Schilder expanded the business, doubling the plant and pushing sales nationwide. The Ulrich formula remains praised for its sweetness and lack of preservatives. A two inch disc tag reading Ulrich's Genuine Pella Bologna is used on each link to promote the product. The Chronicle printed details of the tag production and cost-saving printing efforts for mass advertising.
