Thanks for posting that, Mike. It's a great resource.

I had to go looking for food ads and found a half dozen for "Grape=Nuts and Cream," but not the one that we have on a wall in our kitchen, from a 1915 issue of something called "The family Companion." It shows a child carrying a book-bag and walking with a huge dog, with the caption:
"To school well-fed, on Grape=Nuts and Cream."  "There's a Reason."

I should scan it and post it here.

Unadulterated sexism:

Men's Magazines is greyed out;

Women's Magazines is available.

I thought that sort of discrimination was no longer tolerated in an 'advanced' society...
