This is an original 1934 black and white print ad for Post's 40% Bran Flakes. This cartoon ad emphasizes the strength and energy provided by Post cereal. The majority of this ad is targeted at children, given the humorous cartoon and inset of girl enjoying a bowl of Post cereal, with the text below the photo claiming how much children love the nut flavor. The main body of text in this ad speaks to hard working parents who need the energy to get through a "real" day of work. This ad also highlights the cereal's digestion and regularity benefits. This ad was illustrated by F. Fox.
