    Description

    Here is a lovely vintage collectors' ad booklet produced in 1914 by the Shredded Wheat Company of NY.  Entitled "The Wonders of Niagara" the 5" x 7" soft cover ad booklet contains the story of both the wonders of Niagara Falls and the rise of the Shredded Whole Wheat cereal company.  Several black and white pictures are included, with some color pictures of the cereal products in the back.  Color covers are in very good condition and the entire booklet is intact with only minor lower right corner creasing on a few back pages. Also included is an 8.5" x 11" single sheet letter dated 1911 written by the cereal company to the consumer.  Lovely color pictures of the factory building and falls plus six individual ways to eat the cereal are printed on the letter, which has no written signature but only a typed message and signature.  Letter is also in excellent condition, folded twice but intact with no sign of tearing.  This sample is over 100 years old, a unique treasure for collectors!
