| Full color 8 3/4" x 12" ad for their Grape Nuts cereal. The ad has a picture of a very early box of this cereal in front of several of the pyramids in Egypt. The ad text, speaking about both items, reminds us that "Things built right endure!" and claims that Grape=Nuts "builds Body and Brain". There is a flaw in the bottom of the ad where it looks like some paper is stuck to it.
