Among them was Governor Daniel Tomp-kings of New York State. He noticed the capitalized letters EAUS on the packages of meat and asked what they stood for. A workman replied that EA stood for Elbert Anderson, the businessman for whom Sam was working.48. In May 1813, this story appeared in a newspaper published in New York.49

B However, not many people have ever heard of such a man. Not even most young Americans.
