Elsie the Cow

Elsie the Cow is the advertising mascot of Borden's dairy products. Created in 1936 for print ads, a real cow was selected to portray Elsie for public events, from fairs to Macy's store windows, and even had a part in the 1940 film Little Men.
She was featured in commercial sketches on the 1944 radio series Happy Island starring Ed Wynn, while Bil Baird built marionette versions of Elsie and her family for 1950s TV ads. Her husband, Elmer the Bull, had his own strikingly different white product, Elmer's Glue.
