A cowboy. Knowing that every kid wanted to be a cowboy. The manufacturer decided to use the name of a horse made famous. By one of America’s most famous cowboy movie heroes -Gene Autry. They named their horse Champion. Champion appeared in front of grocery stores across America. When just 1cent 10cents or 25cents would bring a loud yell of Giddy up and another little cowboy would ride a minute of laughter and fun.
