Harry Virgil Warehime
In the early years of the 20th century, Harry Virgil Warehime moved from Carroll County, Maryland, to Hanover, Pennsylvania. After settling there and supporting his family as a farmer, Warehime set out to expand beyond his fields and founded the Hanover Canning Company in 1924. The fledgling company canned peas, beans, and tomatoes grown by Warehime and other local farmers during the summer season and processed sauerkraut in the winter.
