MORTONS SALT ADVERTISEMENT TIN

ANDE ROONEY MORTON SALT GIRL Porcelain Sign The Morten umbrella girl has shown the salt pouring in wet weather since she first appeared on the box in 1914. She was a mere alternative image in a Good Housekeeping advertising campaign layout when Sterling Morton ll, son of the founder, took one look at her and *knew immediately that we could find no better trademark.* Through the years, several updates have been made in her hair and clothing, but the basic trademark has remained. MORTON, the umbrella girl and "when it rains it pours" are trademarks of Morton International, Inc.
