He is saying Just a moment, my children..." and he goes on to tell them that their problem could be nothing more than "a touch of breakfast trouble".

Pillsbury 2

Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Farine for babies. There is a picture of a cute diaper-clad young man sitting on the floor looking up with his mouth open as the headline says "Vitamin for you, Sir! Here's Pillsbury's Farina, with Vitamin B, to help you grow...from square pants to long ones!". The text talks about the Vitamin B1 and claims that this product is intended, both in taste and nutrition, for the young and the old. The ad does multi-duty by continuing on to mention their Pancake Flour and their Sno-Sheen Cake Flour.

Pillsbury 5
/ Babies

Full color 5" x 12 1/2" ad that advertises Pillsbury's Best Flour. The ad starts off by asking if you "Like Ice-Cream 'n' Cake at Your House?". I know this is a silly question, especially when you look at the cake and ice cream that they are advertising, Ann Pillsbury's 'Cream-Lined Cake. It looks to be a very delicious cake having a slice taken out of it so we can clearly see that this cake is baked around some ice cream. The ad describes it by saying "Here's a Delightful New Way to Serve It! Believe it or not, you can make this ingenious, taste-tempting desert in a cool, quick hurry with the faster Pillsbury's Best for modern baking. Happily, this new-day flour is perfectly suited to Ann Pillsbury's time-saving, quick-mix method. And to all your baking it imparts new lightness - delicacy - flavor. No wonder it's gaining popularity faster than ever. Try it. Soon!". The recipe for this wonderful cake is given in the lower third of the ad.

Full color 9 1/2" x 12 1/2" ad for their Brownie Mixes. This ad has almost nothing in the way of text but we all know that Brownies need no words. Pictured is a couple sitting on a bench in a pseudo-art gallery looking at paintings of the Pillsbury Fudge Brownie mix and the Pillsbury Nutty Brownie mix. The young girl turns to the young mans and says "I don't know much about art, but I know what I like" to which the young man has no answer because his thoughts are centered on the image of a plate of brownies and a glass of milk.

Pillsbury 8

Full color 10" x 14" ad for their Swirls Dinner Rolls which they claim are "The prettiest hot rolls that ever came to dinner". The ad has a picture that shows a tray that was just taken from the oven and it is filled with these Pillsbury Swirls. Several have been taken from the oven tray, one is standing complete and the other has been pulled apart and is sitting there waiting for inspection. The instructions say that there are two steps to preparing these for dinner. First you pop open the container and then you bake. Sounds like the kind of job that even I could do. They say that "You get eight light, tender, golden, flaky, perfectly lovely, swirly-peaked rolls". I couldn't have said it better myself.
