Three color 5 1/4" x 13 3/4" ad that is for Borden's None Such Mince Meat. This ad starts off with "A Tip From Elsie, The Borden Cow" as she has given a piece of pie to a man who is yelling, "At Last! Mince Pie with that real honest-to-gosh old-time flavor". Elsie is standing there, very taken with the praise, as she says "I told you Borden's None Such Mince Meat makes a difference. It's the spiciest, fruitiest Mince Meat ever". The ad text says that "There's nothing in the world like a plump, spicy, golden-brown None Such Mince pie. And that's because there's no other mince meat anywhere with the same fine, old-fashioned flavor as Borden's None Such Mince Meat. All of the 18 ingredients - juicy raisins, currants, tart curls of fruit peel, and savory spices - have been subtly blended by Borden's master cooks. The result is the most delicious, fruity mince meat you ever tasted. Naturally - just as the best eggs cost more than lower-grade eggs, this finer Borden's None Such costs more than ordinary mince meat. Only a few pennies more - but what a difference in flavor. So look for the None Such girl on the bright red package - get genuine Borden's None Such Mince Meat".

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 3/4" ad for Borden's HEMO Drink. This ad starts off with the headline stating that you could "Bounce Back With HEMO - New Vitamin And Mineral Drink". Next we see the cartoon picture showing Elsie, the Borden Cow sitting on her chair on the beach, pointing towards the board that starts off by saying that "Just One Glass Of Hemo Gives You:" and saying "Drink your vitamins and like 'em!". She seems to be somewhat surrounded by people enjoying their time on the beach and it seems like no one is paying attention to her. The text informs us that "There's a grand new vitamin drink waiting for you at the nearest soda fountain - and at your grocer's or druggist's. It's Borden's HEMO - new vitamin and mineral-fortified drink. HEMO has the smoothest, richest malted flavor you've ever tasted - yes, better than the tastiest malted milk. And, in addition, HEMO is supercharged with food elements you need for health and vitality! Vitamins A, B, D, and G, plus Iron, Calcium and Phosphoros. Just one glass of HEMO daily added to a usual diet makes up almost any shortage of vitamins and minerals. So start drinking HEMO now. See if it doesn't give you more 'get-up-and-go'!".

'Cut the soft soap' snorted Elmer, 'I tell you, I'm tired of being called Elsie's husband. I'm going far away - maybe to another country. I'm going to do big things - and I mean, big'. 'You have to go a long, long way, darling' smiled Elsie to find a country that offers you the opportunities that America does.

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for Lady Borden Holiday Bisque Tortoni Ice Cream. A very tasty advertisement with the picture showing at least five bowls of this delicious ice cream sitting there, with spoons at the ready, and the top headline tells us that "Lady Borden Ice Cream is Extra-Good because it's made with Extra Cream!". That sounds very tempting!! The text then tells us that it is "A merry idea for the holidays! Here's the ice cream that belongs at all the joyous parties of the season...and makes a gay occasion of the simplest family meal. Serve Lady Borden Holiday Bisque Tortoni often while it's here - because everyone loves this holiday ice cream with festive bits of red and green pineapple in every delicious spoonful!".

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Instant Whipped Potatoes. The picture shows a plate, with the potatoes closest to the viewer, that has potatoes, beans and, what I think, is hamburger. The person sitting at this table is holding up a fork filled with the potatoes and, what I think is happening, is flakes are coming down from above. The ad claims that "These are flavor flakes. In seconds, they turn into delicious whipped potatoes. Borden's exclusive flavor flake process is so quick and gentle it keeps delicate flavor cells unbroken - so you get real, farm-fresh taste. Try them. Bet you can't tell Borden's from the best homemade!". You are encouraged to look for the new 16-serving size.

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 3/4" ad that is for Borden's Dutch Chocolate Drink. This ad has a photo of a little boy sitting at a table and working on drinking from a glass that is filled with chocolate milk and chocolate ice cream. As he sits there drinking, Elsie the Cow is standing there saying "I see you've got a pipeline to Holland". The ad says that "That super Double Dutch that you've just invented is made with real Dutch cocoa, you know. It's in Borden's Ice Cream and it's in Borden's Chocolate Drink, too. And wasn't it nice of Borden to go all the way to Holland for Dutch cocoa with its deep, rich and wonderful chocolaty taste! And then to make it and blend it to make Borden's Dutch Chocolate Ice Cream and Borden's Dutch Chocolate Drink. That's why mad scientists like you can dream up such delicious concoctions. But when you're finished, don't forget to clean up the kitchen". Sounds like my mother got to him!
