As an American capitalist/entrepreneur, Mr. Taylor boldly lived the American Dream with the invention and commercial launch of his unparalleled Taylor Ham, produced at his plant in Trenton, NJ. (I direct your attention to Exhibit A (below): the original packaging which boldly and clearly professes "Taylor Ham" in large, cheerful yellow letters).
In a sad turn of events, Mr. Taylor's brand name was then stomped on, eradicated and, yes, I would argue, STOLEN by jack-booted government thugs under the guise of the then newly-formed Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906. Thus, for 50 years his product was produced, branded, marketed and widely known as "Taylor Ham". History! Members of the jury, please... shouldn't we respect our great New Jersey history? I would further argue that since its inception, the product was often copied, yet never duplicated with quite the same intoxicating mix of spicy, salty, smoky goodness.
The fact that Mr. Taylor was cheated by a regrettable rise of American bureaucracy and growing tendency towards government overreach doesn't make it any less "Taylor Ham" to THIS born & raised Jersey Girl --- as it should be to all other knowledgeable, intelligent NJ residents. [See what I did there? I "pulled an AVB" on y'all! LOL.]
In closing, as the late, great Antonin Scalia so brilliantly promoted an originalist interpretation of the Constitution, so do I, appealing to your innate sense of fairness and tradition, promote an originalist interpretation of Mr. Taylor's initial branding concept. Please join me in righting this historic wrong! Let's join together, in a spirit of American goodwill, and enjoy a Taylor Ham, egg and cheese sandwich... TOGETHER! Thank you for your attention.
