The poster is dated the week of April 24, 1933, and features a slew of classic brands - from Baker's Cocoa to Gold Dust cleanser, not to mention Chef Boy-ar-dee!

Newspaper advertisement for Wheaties featuring Babe Ruth as it appeared in The Sunday Oregonian, July 30, 1933. For just one measly box top, kids could score a copy of the Babe's animated "moviebook" which shows how he hits a home run when you flip through the pages rapidly. p.s. I wish it was that easy to get one of these today!
