Hurff Foods

Hurff... It's not a name, one would think, that would lend itself to selling food. Though it didn't seem to hurt Edgar Hurff's food business, which flourished until 1948. It was then sold to Del Monte, which evidently opted not to keep the Hurff name.

Life - Apr 19, 1937

With a name like Smuckers it has to be good.

How about a name like "Painful Rectal Itch"?
