According to Wikipedia:
"Ralston Purina was famed for its “checkerboard” trademark. The inspiration for the Ralston Purina logo came from a family from founder William Danforth’s childhood who dressed in checkerboard cloth. The checkerboard trademark, intended to make their burlap bags of feed stand out from competitors, was introduced in 1904" (

Although the red and white checkered boarder has long since faded, you can still see Purina Chows very clearly.
