Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for the Gaines Gravy Train Dog Food. This ad has a picture of a very sorrowful-looking Beagle that is staring into the camera and the headline answers him, “Gee, we’re sorry, but we still can’t make Gravy Train fast enough!”. The text tells us that “We’re still behind – even after increasing production 52%. Seems dogs really love Gravy Train’s crunchy chunks, real beer flavor, home-style gravy. (Of course, they need Gravy Train’s complete balance of 22 vitamins, minerals and 10 different proteins.) Now we’re expanding production even more, and we will catch up soon. Until we do, your grocer may be short of Gravy Train. If he is, for your dog’s sake, please keep asking for it”. The last line in this ad says “Gravy Train: World’s only dog food that makes its own gravy”.
