Who's in charge

The guy in the white shirt is obviously the brains of the operation

Tomato Paste brand?

I tried to figure out which Tomato Paste brand is shown on the box. I can read somethimg like "Villa Rial", but searches for that combination gave no results. I also read "Joh." The combination "Tomato Paste" & "Joh", brings many John West's en John Bull's, where John Bull seems to be the best guess for tomato pastes.
I there anybody who can give the clue?

Since it's in D.C.

It's not a local branch. Must be the head office.
