Originally a public domain film from the Library of Congress Prelinger Archives, slightly cropped to remove uneven edges, with the aspect ratio corrected, and one-pass brightness-contrast-color correction & mild video noise reduction applied.

The soundtrack was also processed with volume normalization, noise reduction, clipping reduction, and/or equalization (the resulting sound, though not perfect, is far less noisy than the original).

History

Nabisco introduced the Ritz Cracker in 1934. Looking to compete with a similar cracker made by their competitor, Sunshine Biscuits, they tasked an employee, Sydney Stern, to create a name and advertising plan. Stern created the name Ritz, which appealed to individuals suffering in the Great Depression, offering them "a bite of the good life". He also created the blue circle/yellow lettering logo design, inspired by the circular label inside his hat. In 2011, Ritz was listed as the "best perceived snack brand" among American consumers in a YouGov poll.
