| Black and white 4 3/4" x 12 1/4" ad for their Regular and 5 Minute Cream of Wheat. This ad is one of the five-frame cartoons drawn by Al Capp with the Dogpatch group of characters telling the story. Daisy Mae comes to wake up L'il Abner who, as usual, is napping with the pigs. She tells him that Yowler has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. Abner yawns himself up and staggers to what serves as a kitchen where the 5 Minute Cream of Wheat is being prepared. Abner slowly eats some and, with a push in the back, heads to the cave where the Yowler is being held captive. He crawls in and asks if they are ready to return the "victim". As the kid hollers the kidnappers respond that they are the "victims". The last frame show Abner hauling the suddenly quiet kid back home being asked why is he quiet. Abner replys that he likes Cream of Wheat "which is so good for li'l chillun!!". |

| Three color 5" x 13 1/2" ad for their 5-minute and Regular Cereals and is another in the series of Li'l Abner drawn by Al Capp. Abner is resting against a tree when Daisey Mae comes running by shouting "Halp!! Ole Bruce th' moose is loose!!". Abner realizes that a "res-kew job" like this calls for energy so he runs with her holding the stove while she cooks Cream of Wheat to add that energy to his system. As she feeds him and runs she complains about him insisting on the regular rather than the Quick Enriched Cream of Wheat and he responds that "It's every wife's sacred dooty t' cook Cream of Wheat fo' her husbin'". After eating his fill Abner grabs Bruce by the tail and tosses him head-first into his house over the heads of two residents of Dogpatch who are cooking up a new batch of kickapoo joy juice. The ad mentions that it is "Be Kind t' Husbands Month" and suggests feeding your husband Cream of Wheat. |
