| Full color 7 3/4" x 11 3/4" ad for Wheaties. The ad has a series of three pictures of Life at the Breakfast Table. The first picture, called Stop This shows a mother trying to get young Johnny to eat his morning bowl of cereal while the father complains to both of them about the noise. The second picture, called Listen to This, shows the mother having coffee with an older lady who is telling her that her youngsters used to fight about eating too until she finally tried Wheaties. The third picture shows a happy table where Johnny and Dad are laughing about how many bowl of Wheaties the young boy has managed to put away. This ad was the back cover of this particular magazine so there is the address label in the upper left hand corner and some darkening along the right side. |

| Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad for their Ready-to-eat Oat Cereal. We see a drawing of an older man running a vacuum while a young boy watches him. This man, with one finger, is lifting the piano so he can clean under it and the young boy stares in amazement because this man "Doesn't Know his own Strength". Next we see this young boy eating a bowl of Cheerios and saying "M-m-m Delicious!" and now "He's feeling his Cheerios". The ad has pictured a green bowl of this product and milk with sliced bananas on it and talks about getting a "whale of a lot of GO power!". The ad also mentions having a Hall of Fun by getting the "8 Funny framed pop-out pictures" of popular celebrities of the time. |

| Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for that wonderful cereal, Cheerios. 90% of this ad is a picture of a bowl filled with Cheerios, the box of Cheerios and a sign saying that "Strawberries love Cheerios...you will, too!" all placed lovingly in a bed of strawberries. The text of the ad talks about the special toasted oat crispness going so well with the taste and freshness of strawberries and reminds us that "The Big G stands for Goodness". |
