65 Years Ago - Wisconsin history



This is PRICELESS  ..

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 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  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!"
He did, however, have one printed up to hang on his office wall.
Here it is:


Thanks Randy
