“...For those not old as us, I believe that is Virginia Mayo.....”

Correct. It’s part of C.F.Sauer, which has been here in Richmond since 1887. They have been in their current location on Broad Street since 1911.

“Later, in 1929, the Sauer Company purchased Duke’s Products Company of Greenville, South Carolina. This company was started by Mrs. Eugenia Duke in 1917, when she began selling homemade sandwiches to soldiers training at nearby Fort Sevier.

The sandwiches sold well, primarily because of Mrs. Duke’s own recipe for mayonnaise, with which they were spread. Drugstores sold the sandwiches and, later, a local grocer agreed to take a few bottles of the mayonnaise on consignment. From making and selling several dozen sandwiches a day, Mrs. Duke’s work increased until she had to start making the mayonnaise in a separate outbuilding. On the day she sold eleven thousand handmade sandwiches, a delivery truck was purchased....The taste of Mrs. Duke’s original recipe for mayonnaise has never been altered, and it remains the only major mayonnaise brand made without sugar.”
