Henry Anderson was a Philadelphia-area street vendor known as The Hominy Man, who became a local legend, beginning in about 1828, for his cries, which he used to hawk his wares. His were said to be the "most musical of all cries", and he was noted for his "strong resonant 'tenor robusto'".

Two examples of his cries:

Hominy man come out today

For to sell his hominay

De hominy man is on his way

From de navy yard

With his harmony
