40th Anniversary of Moon Landing



July 20th,1969
One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.
Man's first walk on the moon.

I remember watching this momentous occasion unfold on TV when I was 9 years old.
Walter Concrite did a wonderful job covering this important event.
It's kid of ironic that Walter died just a few days ago. RIP

Carnation Milk Add Slogan



CARNATION MILK 65 YEARS AGO

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
approximately 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 all about milk and dairy farms. I can
do this!
She sent in her entry, and several weeks later, a black limo pulled up in
front of her house.
A man got out and said, 'Carnation LOVED your entry so much, we are here
to award you $2,000 even though we will not be able to use it!'
