When canned Carnation Milk became available in grocery stores 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 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 the farmhouse. A large man got out, knocked on her door and said, "Ma'am.......The president of Carnation Milk absolutely LOVED your entry.....So much so, 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."

When revolutions come to your line of work they can be interesting.
My wife grew up on a dairy farm and that really got her tickled.
I was born and raised on farms. I can relate also. Thanks for dropping by and hitting the 'follow' button.
