Maxwell House
Maxwell House is an American brand of coffee manufactured by a like-named division of Kraft Heinz in North America and JDE Peet's in the rest of the world. Introduced in 1892 by wholesale grocer Joel Owsley Cheek, it was named in honor of the Maxwell House Hotel in Nashville, Tennessee, which was its first major customer. For nearly 100 years, until the late 1980s, it was the highest-selling coffee brand in the United States. The company's slogan is "Good to the last drop," which is often incorporated into its logo and is printed on its labels. Maxwell House coffee has been owned and produced by several companies, starting with Cheek's company, Nashville Coffee and Manufacturing Company, then followed by General Foods, and Kraft Foods Inc.

Maxwell House Show Boat
''Maxwell House Show Boat'' was the top radio show in the United States from 1933 to 1935. The program was sponsored by Maxwell House coffee, and it aired on NBC Radio Thursday nights, 9 pm. The first show was broadcast in 1931. ''Maxwell House Show Boat'' was inspired by the success of the Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein II musical ''Show Boat'', which was based on the novel of the same name by Edna Ferber. It became an instant classic when it opened in 1927 on Broadway. The radio program starred Charles Winninger as Captain Henry, a role directly inspired by Winninger's stage performance as Cap'n Andy Hawks, owner of the showboat ''Cotton Blossom'' in the Kern-Hammerstein musical. (Otherwise, the Maxwell House program and the stage ''Show Boat'' had nothing to do with each other besides the fact that both had a Mississippi showboat as a setting for the action.) In 1932, the year before ''Maxwell House Show Boat'' premiered, Winninger reprised his role as Cap'n Andy in the first st ...
