Whos cow was Elsie

[uncle Will in In.]

Back in the old days there was a big color ad in magizines with a picture of a great looking Jersey cow with big eyelashes and dreamy eyes. She had a calf and a big Jersey husband.
She was advertising for a big milk company.
Anyone remember what company and the names of her bovine family?????

It was Borden but I don't remember any more than that.

Bordens and her husband was Elmer the bull. They had two "kids" twins I believe. Actually the Bull became the emblem for the Elmer's Glue

The kids were Beulah and Beauregard. Don't ask me why I know.....

Her husband was Elmer the Bull, who served as the mascot for Elmer's Glue; a division of Borden's. Their offspring included Beulah, Beauregard, and twins Larabee and Lobelia. See the story of the Borden mascots below:

I only remembered Elsie and Elmer.

Well Elsie & Elmer had a happy life for part of the year but part of the year farmer Brown kept Elsie on one side of the fence & Elmer on the other side . Elsie kept giving Elmer that dreamy bedroom eyes look until Elmer couldn't stand it anymore & jumped the fence . Elmer said you sure are a beautiful cow Elsie & Elsie said you sure are a handsome bull Elmer . Elmer looked real sad & Elsie asked him what would make a big strong handsome bull so sad . Elmer said you can't call me Elmer the bull anymore , that fence was higher than I thought . That's when Elmer,s picture appeared on the glue bottle .

Okay, Steve, I am curious. Why on earth would you know something like this?

After the milk plant closed and was tore down, Bordens Elsie in Huntsville moved to the local cultural museum where Aunt Eunice's Country kitchen display is located also.

I actually had a stuffed Elsie toy, pink, with her plastic smiling head. When you tipped her, she went "moooooo".

My brothers had blue ones, but I don't know if they were Elmers or not.
