This one’s cool … not as cool as Abe Lincoln, but pretty cool. Thanks Shorpy!

This is a photograph (colorized) of Jessie Hoover of the Department of Agriculture. She was a milk utilization specialist and pushed a national campaign to educate Americans that milk was nutritional with the slogan “better food, less expense.”
