"More than half a century ago, Evanston inventor Leo Peters bought the rights to the name Butterball for $10.
Nearly 20 years later, he sold the trademark to Swift & Co. for $1 million."
APPRECIATING the LEO PETERS 2 FAMILY...because my late grandfather Leo Peters was the first to trademark the "Butterball" name (which he later sold to the turkey company ie armour, but retained the rights to use the name for his butter factory, ie butterball farms,) and was also involved in various meat endeavors, and my memories of Thanksgiving revolve around a big meal at the "butterball mansion" I am adding a thanksgiving section to this blog!
