I've never heard of Beech-Nut making bacon. Seeing it in a jar is also unusual for me.

They made kiddy cereals and baby food, mostly, and gum.

"1890:
The Imperial Packing Co.--the predecessor to Beech-Nut--is founded by five residents of Canajoharie, New York.
1899:
The company incorporates as Beech-Nut Packing Company.
1905:
The company grosses $1 million per year upon the success of its jarred bacon."

Also "During the first 25 years of the 20th century, the company expanded its product line into peanut butter, jam, pork and beans, ketchup, chili sauce, mustard, spaghetti, macaroni, marmalade, caramel, fruit drops, mints, chewing gum, and coffee."
