From Wikipedia... The Clabber Girl name brand comes from the word "clabber", a type of sour milk. In the early 1800s, people mixed clabber with pearl ash, soda, cream of tartar, and a few other ingredients to make what we know today as baking powder. The first baking powder brand by Hulman and company was the "Milk Brand". Hulman is the same family that owned the Indianapolis Speedway till 2019.
An artist was commissioned to make a drawing for the logo in 1899, whether or not they used a model is not known. She must have been a draw, though the brand name was not changed to Clabber Girl till 1923. The product is still around today, now owned by B&G Foods.
