Presto Whip Building, Dearborn, Michigan, 1976
Add to SetSummary
These silos stored soybean oil and sugar. They stood in front of the Dearborn, Michigan, factory that made Presto Whip -- a soy-based non-dairy whipped topping. The company fashioned these eye-catching advertisements around plain, ordinary storage tanks. The silos became a recognizable landmark and local residents fondly remember these roadside signposts long after they were torn down.
