Text:
The one breakfast food that survives the changing moods of public fancy is Shredded Wheat, the food that shows up every year with increased sales in spite of panics, industrial depression or competition...We will spend more money this year than ever before to advertise Shredded Wheat and to make business for the retail dealers.
