JS: There had been no advertising on radio before that, and I can remember--I was actually singing a jingle to myself in the car coming downCharles from home this morning. I think it was the first radio commercial that I can remember, thoughSociety maybe not the first one I've heard. We had one of these Philco radio sets that was called the cathedral type, it looks like a stained-glass window or a gothic arch.with The jingle was, "Won't you try Wheaties, the best breakfast food in the land. Won't you try Wheaties, Skippy never tires of them and neither will you, so just try Wheaties." That was new territory in sales, in advertising.

  • 2005 Minnesota Historical Society Annual Report
    2005 Minnesota Historical Society Annual Report From its museums to its historic sites, its library to its extensive collections and its award-winning web site, the Minnesota Historical Society invites exploration. Set aside some time this year to visit the Society and discover some of Minnesota history’s amazing treasures at the History Center in St. Paul, Mill City Museum in Minneapolis or at any of our 24 historic sites across the state. Your story can be found here. David Koch, President, Minnesota Historical Society Over the past year, the Society has been spreading the word that History Matters! We know that our museums and historic sites contribute to the quality of life in Minnesota and that they attract hundreds of thousands of tourists to Minnesota each year. We know that the programs we offer to our schoolchildren prepare them for citizenship by helping them see themselves in the larger picture of the state’s story. With the help of our members and friends, we have conveyed the significance of our work to the state’s leaders. The results of our combined efforts are measurable. In April of this year, the Minnesota Legislature passed a capital budget, or bonding bill subsequently signed by the Governor, which included $6 million for Society projects. Along with funding to maintain our historic sites, the bill included an amount enabling us to address the current restoration needs of Historic Fort Snelling and to prepare this most important historic site to play an expanded role in the Society’s programs. On June 30, 2005, the Legislature provided for the Society’s annual operating needs with increased funding to help support historic sites that were relying heavily on the generosity of private donors.

  • ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a New Company Was Listed on the New York Stock Exchange
    ON NOVEMBER 30, 1928, a new company was listed on the New York Stock Exchange. Formed through the merger of several regional milling companies, General Mills would grow to become one of the largest food companies in the world. To mark that 75th anniversary, this book celebrates 75 years of innovation, invention, food and fun – both inside and outside the kitchen – in America and around the world. PROLOGUE 1 PROLOGUE It would be difficult to capture our rich history in a thousand pages. There are simply too many stories to tell. But this opportunity only comes once – and we couldn’t let it pass. On the 75th anniversary of the creation of General Mills – in our 137th year as a company – we wanted to pause to commemorate at least some of the historical highlights of a great American company. But where to start? With the creation of General Mills in 1928? Or at the beginning, on the banks of the Mississippi River in 1866? And what of the many companies with which General Mills has been intertwined? What of Pillsbury and Green Giant? What of Kenner and Parker Brothers, Red Lobster and Burger King? What of the products we invented together and the brands we built together? It was simple really. Pillsbury’s history is our history. Green Giant, Old El Paso, Colombo and Häagen-Dazs are here – alive within General Mills. Of the rest we chose to include a little of each, because they too are a part of us. And while we take no credit for the success they enjoy today, we are proud to have shared the same path for at least part of our shared history.

  • Annual Report This Document Is Made Available Electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library As Part of an Ongoing Digital Archiving Project
    Fiscal Year 2013 Annual Report This document is made available electronically by the Minnesota Legislative Reference Library as part of an ongoing digital archiving project. http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.asp PReSident’S letteR Each year, members of the Minnesota Historical Society Executive, Emeritus and Honorary Councils are invited on a two-day bus tour of historical venues in various parts of our state. Each year, I return from this trip impressed and energized by the beautiful and fascinating sites and by the remarkable appreciation for history displayed by citizens across this state. This year we visited sites in southeast Minnesota, including the Anderson Center in Red Wing, historic downtown Red Wing and Wabasha, the Goodhue County Historical Society, the new centers for the Winona County Historical Society and the Steele County Historical Society, Historic Forestville, Louis Sullivan’s National Farmer’s Bank in Owatonna and the Minnesota State Public School for Dependent and Neglected Children in Owatonna. All of these buildings and sites were impressive, but most impressive were the people dedicated to preserving and displaying the remarkable history connected to these places. As I learned from past tours, such interesting places and dedicated people can be found in every part of our state. This helps explain why the Minnesota Historical Society is exceptional when compared to other state historical societies across the country in terms of number of members, support from members, great sites and great programming. As you will see in our Annual Report, the Minnesota Historical Society had an excellent year. We saw an increase this year in overall attendance at sites and museums, we had over three million visits to our website and we reached the milestone of 24,000 member households.

    i WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY BRAND? THE MODERATING EFFECT OF BRAND NOSTALGIA ON CONSUMER RESPONSES TO CHANGED BRANDS A dissertation submitted to the Kent State University College of Business in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy By Alison B. Shields April 2012 ii iii Abstract Marketers often make changes to brands to make the brand seem current or exciting. Some updates are successful while others are spectacular failures. This dissertation establishes a connection between consumer acceptance or rejection of updated brands and the consumer’s reported brand nostalgia. In this dissertation, I refine the current marketing definitions of nostalgia to develop a more specific construct of brand nostalgia, develop a scale to measure the construct of brand nostalgia, examine the differences between schemas for nostalgic brands and non-nostalgic brands, and show that consumers’ affective and attitudinal responses to changes in a brand are moderated by brand nostalgia. Nostalgia has been defined as “a positively toned evocation of a lived past” (Davis 1979), and “a fondness for possessions and activities associated with days of yore” (Holbrook 1993). Consumers have been observed to engage in nostalgic behaviors, from re-watching favorite old movies (Holbrook, 1993) to reminiscing about favorite cars from their youth (Brown, Kozinets and Sherry 2003) to consuming specific foods as a way to reconnect with the past (Loveland, Smeesters and Mandel, 2010). Consumers have also reported nostalgic feelings for particular brands or items (Holbrook and Schindler 2003). When individuals recall nostalgic memories, they recall affect and brand information stored in their schema for the target brand (Collins and Loftus 1975).

  • Creating a Lasting Legacy
    CREATING A LASTING LEGACY The programs and activities of The Minneapolis Institute of Arts, as well as its free general admission policy, are supported through the generosity of thousands of organizations and individuals who care deeply about our work. In the pages that follow we acknowledge these donors and their depth of commitment that sustains our many activities within the museum’s walls and in the community beyond. In particular, we acknowledge the citizens of Hennepin County through the Park Museum Fund, the Minnesota State Arts Board supported by an appropriation by the Minnesota State Legislature, the Institute for Museum and Library Services, and the National Endowment for the Arts. More than 23,000 member households represent more than 50,000 individuals in our region, and reflect the diversity of our community and the reach of our services. Each donor is vitally important to us, and to the hundreds of thousands of children and adults who benefit from our exhibitions and school programs. The Minneapolis Institute of Arts thanks these individual and family members, and corporate and foundation donors, for helping us to fulfill our mission in the community. Today, the Institute stands at the threshold of a new era of growth and excellence. In this report, we also publicly recognize the many generous donors to the Bring Art to Life Campaign, whose gifts will take The Minneapolis Institute of Arts to the next level of greatness in its facilities and its collections. We thank these donors for supporting this dynamic vision, and we share their excitement at the transformation to come in the years ahead.
