Carnation (trademark)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carnation is the name of a brand of evaporated milk, milk-flavoring mixes, flavored beverages, flavor syrups, hot cocoa mixes, instant breakfasts, and ice cream novelties. It is known for its red and white label, and the brand was acquired by Nestlé in 1985. The Carnation brand of milk products began production as the Pacific Coast Condensed Milk Company in Kent, Washington. The brand name was chosen by E.A. Stuart in Seattle around the turn of the 20th century. Later, the breeding and research farm for Carnation products lead to name the town of Carnation, Washington. The farm still exists today in the outskirts of the town.
The company that became the Carnation Evaporated Milk Company was founded in Kent, Washington in 1899 by Elbridge A. Stuart.[1]
In the 1950s, Carnation Evaporated Milk was the sponsor of The George Burns and Gracie Allen Show on television.
The Carnation brand is now owned by the Nestlé Company.
