Nationality: United States. Executive summary: Invented the screw-neck jar. In 1858, American tinsmith John L. Mason invented a square-shouldered jar with threaded screw-top, matching lid, and rubber ring for an airtight seal -- the Mason jar. Until the 1830s, long before refrigeration and hothouse gardens, many fruits and vegetables had been available only seasonally, but the recent development of jars had made canning a practical alternative to drying, pickling, or smoking to preserve food.
