After their marriage broke up, Tillie became a successful Stockbroker on Wallstreet and looked into growing the pomodoro in America. In 1930, the federal government raised the tariff on imported tomato products by 50%. Florindo del Gaizo, the part-owner of a Naples cannery, who was worried about losing his American customers, became her primary investor. She settled on Stockton, California to grow the tomatoes. After persuading farmers in area to experiment raising the tomatoes, she talked Pacific Can Company into building a plant at Stockton, with an option for her to buy it., Nov. 19, 1951. By 1940, she had made San Joaquin County the top tomato-producing county in the United States. TILLIE and del Gaizo formed the Flotill Foods Corporation. When del Gaszio died in 1937, Tillie borrowed money and became the sole owner of Flotill Foods. Over the next decade, she began canning spinach and asparagus and built more canning plants. Flotill also canned fruits, baby food and juices. During the Korean War, Flotill was the largest supplier of Army C-Rations in the nation. Tillie met Meyer Lewis, an American Federation of Labor organizer, in 1940 as workers tried to unionize her factories. Tillie married Lewis seven years later and established Tasti-Diet Foods in 1952. Tasti-Diet Foods became one of the earliest marketers of artificially sweetened fruits and soft drinks. In 1951, Tillie named "businesswoman of the year" by the Associated Press. She changed the name of her company to Tillie Lewis Foods and began selling shares on the American Stock Exchange in 1961. Tillie Lewis Foods merged with Ogden Foods (now part of Pet, Inc.) of New York City in 1966 and Ehrlich was elected Ogden Foods first woman director. By 1971, Tillie Lewis Foods had sales of over $90 million per year. Tillie was the first female sea port ccommissioner. A first to think globally regarding food production to fight world hunger and population control, she was lauded for her non-discrimanatory hiring practices, major innovation in food production and advertising.
