Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Post Toasties Corn Flakes. There is a drawing of a kitchen where a young girl with red-hair has lined her three older brothers up and, as she holds an empty box of cereal in her hands, demands of them “Who ate my Post Toasties“. The three boys stand silently with empty bowls behind their backs, dripping spoons in their hands and contented smiles on their faces. The text advises Mom to “give Sis a break and hurry to the store for more” and the ad also shows the Post Redi-Pak which has eight servings of the same kind of cereal. The text starts of by saying “Trust a redhead to stand up for her rights…even in this man’s world. There is a drawing at the bottom right corner of a package of eight individual boxes of Post Toasties. The text there says “For your rugged little individualists…get Post Toasties in the handy new Redi-Pak!”.
