A nurple cow kept showing up
here from time to time. On loan
by a Reading based chemical
company from the herd of Solo
mon Gernscheimei, Bernville
R 2, the predominately white re
gistered Holstein was stained
purple with a harmless dye ap
proved for use as a meal grading
ink by the federal food and drug
administration.
It was all a part of an adver
tising gimmick to promote the
company’s purple mastitis treat
ment compound The product is
to be used as a teat dip for ud
der sanitation.
To emphasize the point, the
company hired an actress to
lead the cow around the show
barns several times a day. The
actress, Miss Lynn Brossman,
Terre Hill, was also dressed in
What else but purple?
A snag in the promotional
plans came when the purple cow
attempted to enter her class in
the Holstein Show, Tuesday
Looking out of place among her
conventionally fitted black and
white neighbors, the purple cow,
after taking only a few steps in
to the show ring, was seen quick
