Ken L Ration Better Than Shirts

Ken-L Ration was a popular brand of canned dog food introduced in 1922 by Chappel Brothers of Rockford, Illinois. It was one of the first commercial dog foods made primarily from horse meat, which was abundant and inexpensive at the time. The name "Ken-L" is derived from "kennel," emphasizing its target market.

The brand became well-known through extensive advertising, including sponsorship of popular radio shows. Over the decades, Ken-L Ration expanded its product line and became a staple in many American households. The brand underwent various ownership changes and eventually faded from the market as pet food industry standards and consumer preferences evolved.
