Beschreibung

(Advertising) THE ADVENTURES OF WILLIE WINTERS verses by Byron Williams; pictures by Dearborn Melvill. [Battle Creek, Mich.]: Kellogg Toasted Corn Flake Co., (1912). FIRST EDITION. Oblong 12mo - 9-9/16" x 7-1/16" Staple bound color pictorial stiff paper wrappers with wear along spine including an 1-1/4" split down to the top staple at the head of spine and an 1" split up to the bottom staple at the tail of spine; additionally, slight loss to the two upper fore edge corners for what is a bright clean copy of the book. [16] pp. This cute little book is W. K. Kellogg's attempt to satisfy "the little tots' persistent demand for 'bed time stories'" which as chance would have it, was also an excellent way to indoctrinate those same little tots into a lifelong love of the Toasted Flakes because eating them is always the answer to whatever situation one finds oneself in. The book consists of the title page, ten pages with a different story on each, starring Willie Winters and the ubiquitous Corn Flakes, each story illustrated with six panels of full color drawings with the corresponding story told in verse below; four page story "A Trip Thro' Kellogg's" where the production of the Toasted Corn Flake is explained and extolled. Internally, the book is FINE. The condition of the book is VERY GOOD. Only two copies located on OCLC/WorldCat. EXCEEDINGLY RARE. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 000627
