Artist's Description
This faded old poster, hangs in Cortez on the side of an old storage building. In the 1950s Tropic-Ana was inspired by Manatee County resident, 4 year old Christine Keston Pool. As a child she often played with her friend Billy Burt, the son of Jane Beckley Burt who had been asked to design the new Tropicana logo. As Jane drew what would become Tropic-Ana as a little girl with a French braid she realized she was drawing Christine. This led to a short time of fame for the young Christine. She became the embodiment of Tropic-Ana at company parties and special events, as well as an early TV commercial that Christine remembers running in the New York market. Her mother made her costume which consisted of a grass skirt, lei, and paper mache bowl and oranges. Tropicana has long since changed its logo, but this poster, has gotten more interesting with age.
