Vintage Advertising - Grape Nuts
From Woman's Home Companion, January 1922. I can't quite tell if that signature on the bottom right of the painting is Norman Rockwell or not.

Kitnapped!
We went to the U-Can-Pick apple orchard two counties over yesterday. Evidently the management has a problem with small children trying to smuggle kittens into the car without Mom or Dad noticing.
