K for Kellogg's. K for kids. Haven't you seen these little faces someplace before? Of course you have... right on the front of the Kellogg's Corn Flakes packages. You've prob- ably had breakfast with them many times, because Kellogg's Corn Flakes taste better to more people than any other cereal. In fact, more people ran out of Kellogg's Corn Flakes this morning than any other cereal of any kind. How are you fixed for Kellogg's Corn Flakes right now? It just doesn't pay to be fresh out. Some of our best customers look like this ... with freckles and hair ribbons and beanies and 150-watt lights in the eyes, as captured here by Norman Rockwell. Kids! The little people who've had us toeing the mark now for nearly 50 years. It all started back in 1906. That's when Mr. W. K. Kellogg got fired up with the idea of bringing people the good and wholesome grains in a new and most appetizing form. Kids liked what they tasted and they've never laid down their spoons. Today and every day, Kellogg's feeds more kids (and of course, more mamas and papas, too) than any other ready-to-eat cereal com- pany in the country. It's a wonderful responsibility, that keeps us hoping. We know that little appetites need to be coaxed, so Kellogg' makes everything to coax them with -- cereals in flakes, in puffs, in shreds. Some that go "Snap, Crackle, Pop." Some that are even sugar-coated. And all toasted in our radiant ovens to the last twinkle of freshness. All made to our still secret recipes with flavor that's never been duplicated. All rich in the stuff that makes little bodies shoot up and blossom and thrive.

From America, Nov 1970: Land Cameras ad from Polaroid

(+Land Camera)

«There'd better be a good reason.»
An advertisement for two different cameras from the same brand. One camera provides fully automatic exposures and even tells you when your picture is developed, while the other boasts a Zeiss Ikon single-window rangefinder. Both cameras provide a great color picture in a minute. There'd better be a good reason. Both of these Polaroid Land cameras will give you a great color picture in a minute. A black-and-white one in seconds. And completely automatic exposures even for flash shots. But the camera on the left will do things you would not believe. It even tells you when your picture is perfectly developed. (An electronic development timer sounds off with a sharp little “beeep.”) Its electric eye and electronic shutter are so sensitive they'll set any kind of exposure automatically. Color time exposures up to 10 seconds long. Even black-and-white snapshots indoors. Without flash. This camera is brilliantly equipped. Zeiss Ikon single-window rangefinder-viewfinder (you frame your picture while you focus). Sharp triplet lens. Strong, lightweight metal body finished in brushed chrome. And with optional attachments, this camera takes portraits, self-portraits, and close-ups as close as 9 inches. You can still save about $100 with the one on the right. Just tell yourself money is everything.
