Description
Black and white 10″ x 14″ ad for Post Grape-Nuts and Grape-Nut Flakes with the hero Fireball Twigg. The cartoon in this ad is to introduce the fact that 3 teaspoons of Avalon Pattern Silverware was available for 50 cents and one box top from Grape-Nuts or Grape-Nut Flakes. The cartoon shows Fireball Twigg trying to decide on a gift for his wife and is convinced to buy her a set of Avalon Silverware which is expensive but worth it for his wife. He gives her the gift and they are shown enjoying their cereal with it and the idea pops into their heads to convince Mr. Post to offer this deal. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
