This is cute but don't know if it really happened, but it's still fun.
CARNATION MILK
A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family's
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 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 herself, 'I know everything there is to know about milk and dairy farms.
I can do this! She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a big black car pulled up in
front of her house.
A large man got out, knocked on her door and said, "Ma'am, the president of Carnation
Milk absolutely LOVED your entry.....so much, in fact,
that we are here to award you $1,000--even though we will not be able to use it for our
advertisements!
The president did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall at headquarters....
(Here it is:)
True story!
