UNCLE DANS "ORIGINAL SOUTHERN DRESSING" ( now called Classic Ranch ) became an immediate hit. The name was registered with the U.S. Patent Office, and the business was incorporated. By february of 1967 all major warehouses and direct buying chains west of the Cascades were ordering Uncle Dans Salad Dressing. Within six months the product started moving into the Portland, Oregon and Spokane, Washington areas.- In 1973, Dan added the Country Dill flavor to his product line, followed by Creamy Ranch dressing. With the addition of the new flavors Uncle Dans Salad Dressing evolved into an industry staple.
