Ann Taylor
Popular clothing store Ann Taylor is one of the most successful brands. Many have wondered who Ann Taylor actually is. Well, there was never an actual Ann Taylor, but the name was chosen by company founder Richard Liebeskind. He selected the name from the model name of a best selling dress from his father’s clothing store.

Uncle Ben
The image of “Uncle Ben,” an elderly African American man on the box of the company’s rice was supposedly inspired by a Chicago maitre d’hotel named Frank Brown. However, there seems to have never been actual Uncle Ben. In 2020, Mars Inc., the company that owns the brand, decided to change the name to Ben’s Original and remove his image from the logo.
