Description
Black and white 5″ x 13 3/4″ ad that was for Kellogg’s Gro-Pup Ribbon Complete Dog Food. This ad shows a box of this dog food being checked out by a mother and a young Dachshund and the mother is looking at her child and saying “Me too!”. The headline tells us that “For a Sturdy, Bright-Eyed Pet – “Complete Dinner” Gro-Pup!”. It claims that it is “So complete you need add no meats!”. “What They Get: A “complete dinner!” So complete that no other food need be added to Gro-Pup. Every crisp, hearty morsel is packed with nutrition. Gro-Pup is rich in good muscle-building protein…contains wholesome fat needed for glossy coats…quick-energy fuel foods…every required vitamin and mineral! Good for cats, too! Feed Gro-Pup, today What You Save: Plenty – up to 40% over most canned dog foods. No mixing, no can openers, no refrigeration. Gro-Pup is ready to feed in a flash”.
