The Story of Wish-Bone Salad Dressing

Lena's family came from Sicily, a large island in Italy. She had a special family recipe for Italian dressing. This dressing was a mix of oil, vinegar, herbs, and spices. It was very popular with the restaurant's customers.
People loved the dressing so much that they wanted to buy it. Phillip started making large amounts of it. He made it in big barrels to sell to stores. This is how the Wish-Bone brand began.
