| Full color 7 3/4" x 10 3/4" ad for their Light and Dark Karo Syrup. There is a picture of the Karo Kid wearing a leotard and lifting a dumbell as he reads a book entitled How to Grow Big and Strong. The headline has the Kid saying "Yep...I'm strong for Karo Syrup...Mom knows it's a fine quick-energy food for growing children...and all us youngsters love it!". The text reasons that since doctors prescribe Karo for babies, it just makes sense to continue giving it to children as they get older. It talks about it being a source of energy, as sugar was considered to be the most important source of immediate energy in the past, and there are several ways to serve this product illustrated at the bottom of the ad. |

| Full color 8" x 10 3/4" ad for their Light and Dark Karo Syrups. There is a picture of a grim-faced Karo Kid, clad in blue shorts, a yellow vest, a red bandana, black cowboy boots and a black cowboy hat edged with gold and pointing a pair of six-guns at the reader. The headline commands "Okay, pardner...reach for Karo!" and the text explains how this is "a rich, quick-energy food for growing youngsters...and all us cowboys love it!". It reminds us that "all youngsters burn up gobs of energy...which must be replaced with food...the right kind". It continues with the long-time logic that a "car-bo-hy-drate" is where energy comes from and "Delicious Karo Syrup is a pure carbohydrate" and, better still, it is a blend of sugars so that it will "not irritate sensitive little stomachs". For those who are wondering just how to get their young child to ingest enough of this miracle food the ad suggests pouring it onto bread, adding it to milk and juices as well as sweetening cereals, fruits and puddings with it. |
