Duke's Mayonnaise

[5][6] It is used in regional favorites such as coleslaw, tomato sandwiches, deviled eggs, pimento cheese, and potato salad.

In August 1917, Eugenia Duke and her daughter Martha began selling sandwiches at YMCA-run Army canteens to help make money for her family.

Due to requests from soldiers at nearby Camp Sevier which was a National Guard training camp and other customers (she had quickly expanded the places to which she sold her sandwiches), she started bottling her mayonnaise around 1923.

[12] Duke's Mayonnaise was available throughout the United States, as well as in New Zealand, Australia and the Middle East.

She was active in working towards passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution granting women the right to vote.
