Post Toasties, the corn flakes cereal introduced by C. W. Post, is the product this advertisement puts in the center of a dinner party scene, a setting that signals the cereal was being sold as a sophisticated, modern choice rather than only a breakfast staple. Post began marketing his toasted corn flakes in the early 1900s, and by the 1910s and 1920s cereal makers relied heavily on color illustration and lifestyle imagery like this to win over middle-class households. Worth noticing is how the ad borrows the look of genteel entertaining to suggest that a simple grain product belonged on any table, from breakfast to the evening meal.
