Children gather around a lunch box in this 1931 advertisement for Bond Bread, a brand whose wrapped loaves were a familiar sight in American grocery stores in the early twentieth century. Ads of this era often showed bread as a wholesome, dependable part of family meals, and a scene of schoolchildren at lunchtime made the product seem like a practical choice for busy mothers packing school lunches. Its staged domestic setting also shows how food companies of the Depression years leaned on images of family life to sell everyday staples.
