Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Green Giant Niblets – Fresh Corn Off The Cob. This ad has a drawing that is showing several men working in their full corn field, busily tossing corn into the back of the trailer wagon. This drawing is entitled “HARVEST HOME in the Land of the Green Giant”. The text of the ad says that “Forest of stalks on parade in Hiawatha-land…There is something marvelous and mighty when a cornfield has come to its harvest time…The little seed of May is the majestic plant of August…Life’s cycle of corn is complete…The green is gold…The gold is ready for man’s taking…The new pack is coming in!”. There is an opened can of Green Giant Niblets Corn sitting there with the words “It takes a lot of things to make Niblets Brand whole kernel corn what it is. Special seed (D.138). Good ‘Indian Country’ earth – and sun and rain. Care of good farmers – and the secret of picking it at just the right time for tenderness and fresh corn taste.”
