Description
Full color 7 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad for their Light and Dark Karo Syrup. There is a picture of the Karo Kid wearing a leotard and lifting a dumbbell as he reads a book entitled How to Grow Big and Strong. The headline has the Kid saying “Yep…I’m strong for Karo Syrup…Mom knows it’s a fine quick-energy food for growing children…and all us youngsters love it!”. The text reasons that since doctors prescribe Karo for babies, it just makes sense to continue giving it to children as they get older. It talks about it being a source of energy, as sugar was considered to be the most important source of immediate energy in the past, and there are several ways to serve this product illustrated at the bottom of the ad.
