With the success of "Milk White" eggs in large markets, celebrities endorsed the product in print, on the radio and at trade shows across the Nation.
Each year the current Miss America and other beauty queens were always part of Utah's annual advertising campaign as well as celebrities like Liberace, the beloved pianist and entertainer of the times.
After 1947, Oscar nominated actors from the hit movie, "The Egg and I", regularly endorsed the brand.
During this time, the President of the United States regularly received a live Utah turkey for Thanksgiving to ceremonious happen.
