About the author
Wayland Gladstone Hier, listed as W. G. Hier and born in 1889, is known for The Manufacture of Tomato Products, a book published in Denver in 1919. Library and catalog records identify him as the author and publisher of this specialized manual on tomato pulp, puree, catsup, chili sauce, soup, and related products.
His surviving reputation appears to rest mainly on this technical work rather than on a larger literary career. The book has been preserved by institutions including the Library of Congress and is also listed by Project Gutenberg, which suggests it has remained of interest as a historical resource on food processing and early commercial canning methods.
Very little biographical information about his personal life was readily confirmed from reliable sources found here. What can be said with confidence is that he wrote a detailed industry-focused book that offers a snapshot of food manufacturing knowledge in the United States in the early 1900s.
