Did a woman win $1,000 in a Carnation slogan contest by submitting a bawdy bit of verse? From our 2003 archives:
Woman wins $1,000 in a Carnation Milk slogan contest by submitting a bawdy bit of verse.Although milk has long been a staple of the American diet, a century ago many people did not have access to fresh milk.
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.
One of the pioneers of the evaporated milk business was a grocer from Kent, Washington, named Elbridge Amos Stuart, who in 1899 co-founded the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company, selling canned evaporated milk to prospectors heading north to the Yukon gold rush. Stuart’s faith in the general marketability of evaporated milk was well-founded, and, as sales began to grow, legend has it that he stumbled across the now-famous name for his product while strolling through downtown Seattle.
