Dixie is the brand name for a line of disposable paper
cups that were first developed in the United States in
the early 20th century to improve public hygiene.

They were introduced in 1907 by
Lawrence Luellen, a lawyer in Boston, Massachusetts,
who was worried about germs being spread by people
sharing glasses or dippers at public supplies of drinking
water.

                           The Dixie Cup was first called “Health Kup”, but from 1919 it was
                               named after a line of dolls made by Alfred Schindler’s Dixie Doll 
Company in New York.
 
Dixie merged with the American Can Company in 1957.
In 1982, American Can was acquired by the James River
Corporation of Virginia, which in 1997 changed its name
to Fort James Corporation. Fort James Corporation was
acquired by Georgia-Pacific in 2000, and in 2005 Georgia-
Pacific became a subsidiary of Koch Industries
(pronounced like Coke), the largest privately owned company
in the United States.


Now Dixie is a huge demanded brand which have place in the human
heart and as well as in industry. Dixie Cup logo was created by in 1969
by Saul Bass, a graphic designer known for his motion picture title
sequences.
