A young girl holding a glass of milky drink sets this advertisement apart from the other pictures on this board, since Ovaltine is a malt-and-cocoa beverage with no alcohol. The brand, developed in Switzerland in the early 1900s, was promoted as a nourishing bedtime and daily drink, and advertisers of that era often showed children to suggest health and wholesomeness. Its placement among wine, beer and spirits reflects how the board groups drinks by category rather than by alcohol content. The image is a useful look at how food and drink companies sold a product through the figure of a happy, healthy child.
