    When Henry J. Heinz founded his packaged food company in 1869, he had well over 100 varieties in his catalog.

    The reason he chose 57 as his logo in 1892 was because of the visually pleasant juxtapositioning of the numerals 5 and 7.

    These are the two most visually satisfying numerals in the 10 to 99 series of dual numerals.

    Try it and see!
