Carnation milk - 65 YEARS AGO .. This is choice!
A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around
her family dairy farms since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard
work and little compensation.
When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery
stores in approximately the 1940s, she read an advertisement offering
$5,000 for the best slogan. The producers wanted a rhyme beginning with
'Carnation Milk is best of all.'
She thought to hersel f, I know all about milk and dairy
farms. I can do this!
She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black
limo pulled up in front of her house. A man got out and said, 'Carnation
LOVED your entry so much, we are here to award you $2,000 even though we
will not be able to use it!'
