I am amazed at some of the interesting ads and articles you find. Thank you for posting this, old_tv_nut. I thought Borden was only a brand of milk until now.

Lizzie Borden took an axe
Gave her mother 40 whacks
When she saw what she had done
She gave her father 41


Now back to the milk company: Don't forget Elsie's husband Elmer. He was the glue that held the family together.
