Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Kellogg’s Corn Flakes. The ad has a drawing of a box that is opened from the top and corn flakes are flying out and landing in a nearby bowl along with a single strawberry. As a sign of the beginning of our interest in fast meals the ad headline describes the cereal as “Quick?…they almost serve themselves!” They are called “The Crisp Crisp Flakes with the Deep Deep Flavor” and the claim is made that “If you let Kellogg’s cook your breakfasts this summer, your mornings will start easily, cooly, deliciously!”. We are also promised that this is made “using W.K. Kellogg’s original recipe”.
