| Full color 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter with Casey Stengel. The ad has two pictures of the character who was famous for his time with the New York Yankees. The first picture shows him, in his Yankees uniform, with a thoughtful look on his face. In the second picture he looks more certain and is holding a cracker spread with Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter. The headline identifies this ad as "A Paid Testimonial from Casey Stengel for Skippy Peanut Butter" and the text fills us in on the details. It begins by honestly saying that it is easy to get a famous personality to endorse your product, just give them money. Casey, though, said No. They tried coaxing him some more, more money, and he agreed to try the product. After trying it he agreed to do the ad because "It's great. It tastes just like peanuts". |

| Full color 10" x 13 1/2" ad for their Creamy and Chunk Style Peanut Butter. There is a picture of the crazy peanut with a cap turned sideways and a burglar's mask on as the headline asks you to "Capture America's most wanted nut!". The text explains that the most wanted nut is a U.S. No. 1 peanut and, no matter what the disguise, the taste will let you identify one. It then claims that "In all the world, only two things taste exactly like fancy, fresh-roasted No. 1 peanuts". It then proceeds to claim that these two things are "Peanuts themselves and Skippy Peanut Butter". The ad finishes with their famous claim that "if you like peanuts - you'll like Skippy". |
