Ken L Ration Ken L Land Disneyland 1960

Great view of the Pet Motel sponsored by Ken L Rations dog and cat food company just outside the gates at Disneyland. This building still exists as the Disneyland Kennel for those pets brought along on the family vacation. Ken L Rations derived lots of advertising from their association with Disneyland sponsoring pet parades with Sergeant Preston in the 1950s to offering special certificates to pets who stayed here. As Chris M. has said the graphics of Disneyland in the 1960s and especially the fonts are outstanding.

They really were! I wonder how much of the "corporately" sponsored signage was designed in-house at WED, as opposed to their respective company graphics departments... I'm assuming that font & logo are the same as you would find on a box of Ken L Ration in 1960. Dan G - wanna chime in?

Even though we lived in Los Angeles, I always wanted to bring my dog to the Pet Motel, LOL!
