Notes:
From the company website:

In 1869, Dr. Thomas Bramwell Welch, a physician and dentist by profession, successfully pasteurized Concord grape juice to produce an "unfermented sacramental wine" for fellow parishioners at his church in Vineland, N.J., where he is communion steward. His achievement marked the beginning of the processed fruit juice industry.

In 1893, grape juice became a national favorite as thousands sampled it at the Chicago World's Fair. Dr. Charles E. Welch, son of Welch's founder, discontinued his practice of dentistry to give full attention to the marketing of grape juice. A new label was adopted, omitting the "Dr." before the name Welch's.

Welch's had a branch office in Philadelphia.
