IT'S A REPEAT OF SIMILAR DESCRIPTIONS..although they don't mention that he retained the rights for using it with his butter as well, hence "Butterball Farms" is still in business to this day, their biggest contract being the small McDonalds butter patties handed out usually with the hotcakes. But they also make larger patties for fancy restaurants around the midwest.
"The Butterball turkey name was trademarked back in 1940 by Ada Walker. Leo Peters purchased the trademark in 1951 and licensed the name to Swift and Company. Ten years later he sold it to Swift, which was acquired in 1990 by ConAgra. In 2006 ConAgra sold the Butterball brand to Carolina Turkey, making it the largest turkey producer in the United States, producing more than 1 billion pounds of turkey each year. That's a lot of turkey!
