Advertisements: Jell-O (United States, 1924)


Figure 1.--Jell-O is one of the best known brand names in the United states. The ad is entitled "The Wedding Present". All kinds of nice presents are pictured, including a silver spoon. The little boy is adding what he thinks would be a nice gift--a box of Jell-O. The boy wears a white tunic suit with bloomer knickers and white strap shoes. One might guess that he was the ring berarer in the wedding. We do not know in what magazine the ad appeared. The quality of the ad suggests one of the mass circulation magazines.
