Does the native-american woman on the front of land-o-lakes butter have a name?

Not sure if she has a name, but she can do a trick. The Land O' Lakes package was central to a prank practiced among American school children for many decades. First, the lower three sides of the box which the Indian girl holds in front of her are incised with a sharp knife, so as to make a flap which can be lifted. Then the lower part of the box can be rolled up so that the knees show through the opening, or the knees can be cut off of another image of the maiden (each box bore several images) then pasted to the reverse side of the first, cut-out image. When the flap is lifted, it appears that the girl's breasts are exposed. This was sometimes called the "Indian butter trick."

Does the native-american woman on the front of land-o-lakes butter have a name?
The now-famous Indian maiden was created during the search for a brand name and trademark. Because the regions of Minnesota and Wisconsin were the legendary land of Hiawatha and Minnehaha, the idea of an Indian maiden took form. In 1928, Land O'Lakes received a painting of an Indian maiden facing the viewer and holding a butter carton.
Reply:There is no name yet. The Land O Lake Inc is having a contest to come up with a name.

In the early 1920s, a cooperative was formed that had new ideas about making butter. In those days, most butter was made from sour cream and sold in tubs. This new cooperative made butter from fresh, sweet cream and sold it in one-pound packages with individually wrapped sticks. It soon became the standard for butter quality and helped implement grading regulations for the industry.





That cooperative was Land O鈥橪akes. The organization was incorporated on July 8,1921 as the Minnesota Cooperative Creameries Association. In 1924, as the fledgling organization set its sights on market expansion, it realized it needed a brand name and trademark for its butter. So a contest was held to choose a name. The prize? $500 in gold, reflecting the golden color of butter.





Two contestants, Mrs. E.B. Foss and Mr. George L. Swift, created the winning name 鈥?Land O鈥橪akes, a tribute to Minnesota鈥檚 sparkling lakes. The name became so popular that in 1926 the cooperative changed its corporate name to Land O鈥橪akes Creameries, Inc., and later to Land O鈥橪akes, Inc.





Birth of the Indian Maiden


The now-famous Indian maiden began as a painting in 1928. Reflecting the Native American heritage of the Upper Midwest, it showed an Indian maiden facing the viewer and holding a butter carton and surrounded by lakes, pines, flowers and grazing cows. That painting inspired a new design for the butter carton, and remained until the spring of 1939, when it was simplified and modernized by Jess Betlach, a nationally recognized illustrator.





Decades later, with only minor changes, his design continues to capture the goodness and quality of LAND O LAKES庐 brand dairy products from butter to cheese, deli cheese to foodservice sauces, school-lunch macaroni and cheese to dairy ingredients for other food processors.





Butter was just the beginning


Dedicated to helping its members produce top-quality milk, eggs, meat and crops, almost from the start, Land O鈥橪akes began providing them with feed, animal milk replacers, seed and crop nutrients and crop protection products. This was done primarily through a network of farmer-owned local agricultural cooperatives throughout rural America.





Not only did Land O鈥橪akes provide excellent products, it also provided some of the finest livestock and crop production expertise available. Its ag products and services are backed by extensive research and development at its facilities near St. Louis, Mo., and Fort Dodge, Iowa.





Since those early days, Land O鈥橪akes has grown to be the largest feed company in North America, the world leader in animal milk replacers and alfalfa seed and the largest distributor of agronomy products in the United States.





Despite this growth, Land O鈥橪akes remains committed to helping America鈥檚 farmers and ranchers produce the best milk, livestock and crops through research and development, one-on-one consultation and the finest crop and livestock production products on the market.
