Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad with a tie-in to the NFL for their Frozen Vegetables. There is a picture of a young smiling boy with red hair squatting behind two benches filled with bowl that display the variety of vegetables available. The headline identifies “Mike Perkins…5’3” and 103 pounds…designates Birds Eye vegetables his official choice, too”. The ad encourages mothers to “take a tip from the National Football League” and feed the young members of their family Birds Eye. It also offers a guide book called Ladies Guide to Football free when you buy two packages of any Birds Eye vegetables. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
