The United States Army (USA) is the land service branch of the United States Armed Forces. It is one of the eight U.S. uniformed services, and is designated as the Army of the United States in the U.S. Constitution. The oldest and most senior branch of the U.S. military in order of precedence, the modern U.S. Army has its roots in the Continental Army, which was formed 14 June 1775 to fight the American Revolutionary War (1775–1783)—before the United States was established as a country. After the Revolutionary War, the Congress of the Confederation created the United States Army on 3 June 1784 to replace the disbanded Continental Army. The United States Army considers itself to be a continuation of the Continental Army, and thus considers its institutional inception to be the origin of that armed force in 1775.

Based in Akron, Ohio, and originally founded by Jacob Paquin in 1924, The NORKA Beverage Company was known for its line of hand-crafted sparkling beverages. Following prohibition in 1920, breweries switched to producing soft drinks which prompted Paquin to open his own factory for NORKA (Akron spelled backwards) at 608 Spicer Street. NORKA was a hometown favorite with Akronites and was mainly sold in a six-county area surrounding Akron. During peak production in the late 1930’s, NORKA filled one thousand wooden cases a day with twenty-four thousand bottles. The original NORKA product line featured premium 7oz, 12oz, and 32oz sparkling beverages in custom glass bottles. NORKA will be handing out samples at The Akron Comicon! norkabeverage.com.

Making great Kettle Cooked Potato Chips runs deep in our family. In 1970, Ted purchased his first potato chip company in Kenmore, OH, making multiple brands that were loved throughout the area. One of those brands was Hartville Potato Chips. Selling the business in 1991, Ted traveled the world helping others perfect the Kettle Cooked Potato Chip. Now, with the help of his cousins, the family is back at it! We’re making a great tasting Kettle Cooked Potato Chip that will bring back memories of the way chips used to be made. After more than two decades of being away from the business, we hope you enjoy our new Hartville Potato Chip! hartvillepotatochips.com.
