About

I am the Morton Salt Girl. I have been an enduring icon since I first appeared on table salt packaging in 1914.

The idea for me and my slogan, "When it Rains, it Pours," was the result of Morton's first advertising campaign in 1911. The agency selected was charged with creating a series of ads to run in Good Housekeeping magazine.

One of the concepts presented to Morton was an image of a little girl (Me! ) holding an umbrella in one hand to ward off falling rain and in the other hand, a package of salt that was tilted back with the spout open and salt running out.

Morton loved my picture that expressed the Morton message â the message that salt would run in damp weather. But they felt the copy that went with it â ("Even in rainy weather, it flows freely") was too long. They felt it needed to be shorter and snappier.

More suggestions included "Flows Freely," "Runs Freely," "Pours" and finally, an old proverb, "It never rains, but it pours." The adage was vetoed as being too negative, and a more positive spin on it resulted in the now famous slogan, "When it Rains It Pours."

I'm in Love with the Morton Salt Girl
By: Richard Peabody

I'm in love with the Morton salt girl.
I want to pour salt in her hair and watch
her dance. I want to walk her through the
salt rain and pretend that it is water. I want to
get lost in the Washington Cathedral and follow her
salt trail to freedom.

I want to discover her salt lick in the forests of Virginia.
I want to stand in line for hours to see her walk on in
the middle of a movie only to have the film break and watch salt
pour out and flood the aisles. I want to sit in an empty theater
up to my eyeballs in salt and dream of her.

When I go home she will be waiting for me in her white dress
and I will drink salt water and lose my bad dreams.
I will seek the blindness of salt, salt down my wounds,
hang like a side of ham over the curtain rod in the bathroom
and let her pour salt directly on my body.

When she is done I will lick her salty lips with my tongue
and walk her down the stairs into the rain, wishing that I
could grow gills and bathe in her vast salt seas.

Let's clear some things up:
- I don't claim to be a prommie, for either this username, or the other.
- I do not namedrop.
- I don't care if you don't like my "gimmick" I do. If you do like it, thanks. <3
