The year 1989 marked the 100th anniversary of the Aunt Jemima trademark. The name was conceived in 1889 by Chris Rutt while he was attending a vaudeville show and watching a New Orleans-style dance number performed to a jazzy tune called "Aunt Jemima." Rutt liked the music so much he stuck the name on his products. The syrup came along much later, in 1964, and is now the country's largest selling syrup.

Today some folks tell the story of how their friends or relatives one met Aunt Jemima many years ago and how she was a kind a cordial woman. Little do they realize these people were fooled by a promo. campaign for the broducts back in the 40's & 50's that used actresses traveling from town to town dressed up and acting like the "famous woman." There never really was an Aunt Jemima. ~--from "Top Secret Recipes" by Todd Wilbur
