During 1940s and '50s, the company was one of the largest producers of canning jars along with competitors Ball and Kerr. The E-Z Seal is a lightening jar, a design which has a distinctive glass bubble lid or stopper clamped to the jar with a wire bail. The wire is permanently affixed to the neck of the jar and the bail swings up "quick as lightening" to hold the lid, hence the name.
