Notes
A newspaper photograph under the headline “[Senate Ag C]ommittee Promotes Milk”, printed so dark that only faces, a collar and a glass can be made out; neither the mustaches nor the hats show. The caption: “Members of the Senate Agriculture and Rural Affairs Committee recently joined to promote dairy month in Pennsylvania by sporting ‘milk mustaches’ and ‘Got Milk?’ hats. Participating in the take-off on the two popular advertising campaigns paid for by dairy farmers are, from the left, Sen. John Wozniak, Sen. Patrick Stapleton, former Agriculture Secretary Charles Brosius, Senate Ag Committee Chairman Sen. Dan Delp, and Sen. Noah Wenger.”
Issued by: not an advertisement; a publicity photograph of the committee, printed in Lancaster Farming, June 14, 1997, p. A34. The research report adds that the Senate passed a resolution on June 3, 1997, naming June Dairy Month. The hats carried the got milk? line, as the caption says; the milk mustaches imitate the national campaign.
