The baby who helped make Gerber a household name was Ann Turner. In 1928, Gerber was seeking a baby face for an advertising campaign to introduce its newly developed products. Dorothy Hope Smith, a New York artist who specialized in drawing children, submitted a simple charcoal sketch of her neighbor's infant daughter, Ann. Gerber officials were so taken with the sketch that they adopted it as the company's official trademark. Today, Ann Turner's cherub face still is displayed on jars and boxes of Gerber baby food. http://www.americanprofile.com/issues/20001022/20001022mid_252.asp
