<p>Leaflet advertising Shredded Wheat. It shows a woman in a pink dress handing bowls of the cereal to a boy and girl sitting at a table covered in a white cloth. The logo is in yellow against a black background. Text on the back promotes the fibre in the product as being good for digestive disorders and dental problems. It is described as corrective. This is possibly about 1905 as the manufacturers changed their name to the Shredded Wheat Co. in 1904. A free gift scheme offering portrait enlargements, watches and phonographs is also offered.</p>
