I want the milk with Elsies Face

Before Mr. Peanut an advertising team created Elsie the Cow At the Borden Milk Company, Elsie, a Jersey heifer, was a wow. she was introduced with three friends- Blossom, Bessie and Claire. Four years later in 1940 Elsie the Cow was a feature at the World’s Fair Better known now than Mickey Mouse, most famous icon around. Living in handsome “colonial barn”, where she was safe and sound. As a child I wanted Bordens, because every jug featured Elsie’s face. Mother would not purchase it, for it was two cents more, a big disgrace.
