Gerber® founded by an American couple at 1927 where Dan and Dorothy Gerber started straining peas for their 7-month-old daughter, Sally.

Gerber was founded in 1927 in Fremont, Michigan, by Daniel Frank Gerber, owner of the Fremont Canning Company, which produced canned fruit and vegetables. At the suggestion of a pediatrician, Gerber's wife, Dorothy, began making hand-strained food for their seven-month-old daughter, Sally.

The world's longest running TV commercial is the Discount Tire Company's Thank you commercial, produced by Swartwout Productions (Arizona, USA) and first aired in 1975. The same commercial has been aired continuously every year in parts of the USA.

The world's first television commercial aired on July 1, 1941 during a game between the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies. The ad was for Bulova Watches, a company still in operation today. It lasted for only 10 seconds and aired on a local channel in New York called WNBT.

There has been much speculation over the years, ranging from Humphrey Bogart to Elizabeth Taylor. But the Gerber baby is actually Ann Turner Cook. At the time the sketch was drawn, she was a four-month-old baby living in the same Connecticut neighborhood as artist Dorothy Hope Smith.

"Gerber is deeply saddened by the passing of Ann Turner Cook, the original Gerber baby, whose face was sketched to become the iconic Gerber logo more than 90 years ago," the caption read. The post featured two pictures of Cook – one as an older woman, and the adorable, iconic sketch from her baby days.

July 1st, 1941 The Birth of TV Advertising The money was in selling TV sets. But once most homes had one, the model had to pivot. The first TV ad ran on July 1st, 1941, before a game between the then-Brooklyn Dodgers and the Philadelphia Phillies.

Today we feature the first-ever banner ad, which appeared on Wired magazine's website hotwired.com on October 27, 1994, as our marketing moment. It was an ad for AT&T that asked users “Have you ever clicked your mouse right HERE?” with an arrow pointing to text that read “YOU WILL.”

In the history of advertising, the first-ever written ad was found in the ruins of Thebes in Egypt. It was a Papyrus created in 3000 BC by a slaveholder trying to find a runaway slave while also promoting their weaving shop.

Television advertising started simply in the early 1940s, with the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issuing commercial licenses to 10 US stations. Then, as TV technology evolved - with color pictures, more channels, and increased distribution - the industry quickly grew into a moneymaking behemoth.
