A short, friendly reminder to shoppers, this Cream of Wheat advertisement asks readers not to forget to bring the cereal home on their next trip out. The product dates to 1893, when it was first milled in Grand Forks, North Dakota, and by the early 1900s its advertising was among the most recognizable in the country, often built around a smiling chef. Ads of this period frequently tied hot cereal to the everyday routine of the family breakfast table. Worth noticing is how the copy turns an ordinary grocery errand into a quick, personal instruction aimed straight at the reader.
