A boy riding a cart with a dog at his side sets this advertisement apart, turning a cereal pitch into a small scene of everyday rural life. Kellogg's Corn Flakes were developed in the 1890s at the Battle Creek Sanitarium in Michigan, where brothers John Harvey and W.K. Kellogg were experimenting with easy-to-digest grain foods. W.K. Kellogg later made heavy advertising central to the company's growth, and ads like this helped move the cereal from a sanitarium diet into American breakfast tables. Note how the illustration pairs wholesome childhood imagery with the product, a common approach in advertising of the period.
