A little old lady from Wisconsin had worked in and around her family
dairy farm since she was old enough to walk, with hours of hard work and
little compensation.
When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores back in
the 1940's, 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 all about milk and dairy farms. I can do
this!
She sent in her entry, and about a week later, a black limo drove up
in
front of her house. A man got out and said, "Carnation LOVED your
entry
so much, we are here to award you $1000, even though we will not be able
to use it." |
