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!

REMEMBER, BUTTERBALL TURKEY IS NOT AFFILIATED w/ GRANDPA's BUTTERBALL
FARMS BUTTER,
APART from the fact that grandpa sold the name “butterball” many years ago
to the turkey
company (as an aside, grandpa dabbled in the meat business as well,
& always hosted big
thanksgiving meals at
the butterball mansion

11/20/17 A NEW BUTTERBALL STORY IN THE NEWS that REFERENCES GRANDPA LEO PETERS
Anyway, in 1951, Leo Peters purchased the trademark from Walker for $10. Having collected the interesting mark, Peters didn't know what to use it for at first (like I said, some of this story doesn't really pass muster), so while he was deciding, he licensed it to a Chicago meat processing company, Swift & Co., famous for having retained its status as a major food company even after serving as a poster child and punching bag for Teddy' Roosevelt's trust-busting crusade a few decades earlier.
The first BUTTERBALL brand turkey reportedly was sold by Swift in 1954. Based on trademark assignment records, the product must have been a hit because Leo Peters permanently and formally licensed or assigned the registration to Swift in 1956. Peters apparently retained non-poultry related rights in the BUTTERBALL mark and, in the late 1950's or early 1960's, founded Butterball Farms, Inc., a butter company in Grand Rapids, Michigan, that is still in business but has nothing to do with turkey..."

Video re "750 Plymouth Ave SE, East Grand Rapids, MI 49506"
Not that Leo was a great guy, but he was never ostentatious with his money, except for the house itself.
By the way, the house was recently sold... It's no longer the "butterball mansion" as of the end of 2017.

2015: "Thanksgiving in West Michigan West Michigan Tourist Association"
One of the premier names when it comes to turkey is Butterball – a company started in Grand Rapids by Leo Peters in the 1950s. While turkey operations have moved out of state, the local company today is the largest national dairy supplier of specialty and premium butter in North America – sourcing countless international hotels and even providing the embossed "M" butter for McDonald's...."
