Hot Rolls and Ann Pillsbury

If you look closely at this 1947 ad for Pillsbury Hot Roll Mix, you’ll see it’s signed by Ann Pillsbury. After her introduction in the late 1920s, Betty Crocker was such a success that other companies, such as Pillsbury, created similar fictional characters to dole out baking advice.
