G.W. Dunbar's Sons Inc. founded in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1881 was a seafood packaging and distribution company. The first label claims the shrimp to be cooked sufficiently for salads, mayonnaise, and all cold dishes. The second label includes images of the silver medals awarded at the World Exposition in Paris and London in 1883 and its Pan-American Exposition gold medal in Buffalo in 1901. In 1912, now named Dunbar-Dukate, the company was forced to re-organize due to their anti-competitive business practices.
Marine Products, Inc. of New Orleans, Louisiana packed and shipped shrimp during the first part of the 20th century. The label 's shield claims, “These goods have been inspected and quality approved by Marine Products Inc., New Orleans, distributors.”
