Type: Print
Description:Morton Salt ad, photograph of three men outside R.M. Richards general store
Photograph of three men outside R.M. Richards general store. Man wearing suit in center holds Morton Salt canisters, both men on either side wear aprons.
"As early as 1912, Morton was selling salt in a convenient round package instead of a bag. That idea helped make Morton America's favorite. Over the years, many other ideas have come from Morton. The original iodized salt, a superior moisture-proof package, an exclusive shake and pour top, and a salt of uncommon quality. Today two out of three salt buyers prove - a woman will always buy a good idea. When it rains it pours."

"In 1927, Morton introduced iodized salt to help prevent simple goiter. As significant as that was, if it were the only thing Morton had done for salt, it's not likely they would have stayed America's salt favorite for 56 years. No salt salts like Morton Salt salts. When it rains it pours."

"54 years ago you could send a boy, and he'd bring back the best salt. He had only to look for the Morton label. Today, many salts try to get as close to the Morton label as they can. But, close doesn't count. Morton is still one of a kind. When it rains it pours."
