Advertising to Children

17. [advertising to children][ ABC][ medicine][veterinary][ antibiotic] [boy scout]. 19th & 20th Century

ABC Booklets as Advertising Directed towards Children. United States. 1860-1923. Since young

students were first trained to recite the alphabet, ABC books grew in popularity over the years.

Towards the end of the 19th century as companies began to direct their advertisements towards

children, ABC books that utilized the alphabet to advertise a product started to appear. This

collection showcases a small sampling of such books, from the late 19th century to the early 20th

century. Below is a list of the six (6) items within the collection, followed by a brief description.

• The Illuminated White Pine Alphabet, c1860, George W. Swett

This illustrated alphabet book, written in rhyme, is accompanied by advertisements and

testimonials for several patent medicines that were produced and sold the New England Botanic

Depot (owned by Swett). This book is unique in this collection, because rather than advertising

one single product, it advertises a variety of products sold in a single store. Sewing repair and

some penciling. Measures 6 1/2" x 5".



• The Business Man's Family Advertiser and Illustrated Alphabet, c1869, Wine of Tar

This book is your bounces back and forth between inserting the product in each letter verse, to

not even bothering to try. For example, "I is for Indian, very wrinkled and old. J is for Jar of Wine

of Tar, good for you cold." They also cop out at the end of the alphabet, not even trying to find

words for the last three letters, but rather stating " X, Y, Z, Try our Wine of Tar." Interspersed

between the verses and black and white illustrations are testimonials of those who have used the

product. There were also a few small advertising slots sold to other products on the front and

back covers, such as a horse bridle bit and an advertisement for a weekly Journal of Romance.

Sewing repair. Measures 8" x 5 1/4".

• An Easy Task for Young Students and Older Workers, c1885, Enoch Morgan's Sons Co.

Advertising for Sapolio Soap, with each letter, this book extolls the virtue of using Sapolio for all

phrase, such as "I is for Inkspot, once black on the floor; but scrubbed with Sapolio you see it no

more." Measures 5 1/4" 3 1/2".

• The Noah's Ark Primer, 1913, G C Hanford MFG Co. This colorful little book advertises Balsam

of Myrrh, a liniment which since 1846 has been produced by the Hanford family. A natural

antiseptic produced from gum resin obtained from certain trees or shrubs, it can be used to treat

muscular lameness and superficial pain from overexertion and as an external antiseptic dressing

for the treatment of minor cuts or bruises. This Alphabet book tells a simplistic version of the

bible story of Noah's Ark. Underneath the verse written about each letter is a short sentence

giving an example of the uses of the liniment. The color illustrations in the book have a delightful

watercolor quality to them. Measures 7" x 5".

• ABC Jingles, 1920, G C Hanford MFG Co. This book, also produced by the makers of the Balsam

of Myrrh is full of colorful imagery and several tongue and cheek versus. As the company

purported that it could be used both on humans and domestic animals, such as horses, the

imagery used is a variety of images from the house and farm. Measures 5 1/2" x 3 3/4".

• The Adventurous Billy and Betty, 1923, Van Camp Products Co. This book is not only an ABC

book, but also includes several short stories as well. Billy and Betty are the fictional characters

created by the Van Camp Products to advertise their various canned goods. The alphabet is

this book are colorful and full of fantastic elements such as fairies. There is a short biography on

Billy and Betty, along with a two sections entitled, "Billy at the Boy Scouts' Camp" and "Betty

Visits the Camp Fire Girls." Included in this book is a short letter from Billy and Betty to the

reader. One interior page is detached. Measures 8 1/4" x 5 1/2"

(#27100106) $400.00

ABC books, otherwise known as Alphabet books, first appeared in the mid-16th century. Rather than the 'books' we

think about today, they were simple hornbooks. Essentially hornbooks were primers for children that general consisted

of a sheet containing the letters of the alphabet, mounted on wood, bone, leather, or stone which was then protected by a

thin sheet of transparent horn or mic. Eventually as printing processes improved small books were created that

presented the letters of the alphabet with corresponding words and/or image. Most of these early ABC books were

religious in nature, often containing complicated lists of alphabetized syllables along with selected excerpts from the

Bible.

18. [nursery rhymes][ advertisements][ marketing][ Vernon Grant]. A Collection of "Presented By"

Advertisements Directed Towards Children. United States. 1880-1954. Advertising directly to

children became extremely prevalent towards the end of the 19th century. Generally, this was

achieved by creating a mash up of classic poems with facts about the company's product mixed in, or

adventure stories where the product featured a predominate role within the story. However, some

advertisers went a different route, publishing whole stories with little to no mention of either the

company or the product. Rather the book was brought to the reader, or simply "presented by" the

company. This collection features eight (8) items that fall into that category. The items were published

between 1880-1954. Below is brief description of a few items of note, as well as a list of the rest of the

items within the collection.

• A Merry Christmas for Young People, c1880, Halma. Halma is a board game invented in the

United States sometime in the early 1800s. It is considered the forerunner of Chinese Checkers,

and is a two-to-four player game which not only uses an odd number of playing pieces, but

varies the number of pieces depending on the number of players. The booklet features a story

about a father and daughter who live in a small town in Germany, and how on Christmas, the

father is taught the meaning of kindness and generosity. Covers are wonderfully illustrated using

slightly muted colors. Interior pages have charming black and white illustrations. There are

several ads for the Halma game throughout, even a map which shows how "Halma is played the

world over." Loose pages due to missing staples, minor tears, and tape repair. 20 pp. (including

wrappers) Measures 5 1/4" x 3 1/2".

• The Travel Book, 1910s, Sun Life Insurance Company of America. Now known as SunAmerica,

the Sun Life Insurance Company was founded in 1890 in Baltimore, MD. The only advertisement

in this little booklet is printed on the back cover, which states, "We present this little booklet to

remind you that your life insurance protection should be one of your first considerations." The



book itself reads like a mini travel guide, taking the reader on a worldwide adventure with the

characters Betty, Tom, and Rex. The children travel from the Arctic to North Europe, and from

Central Asia all the way to South America. In each new location, the children encounter a variety

of strange animals that bring both horror and wonder to their faces. Printed in shades of orange

and green, the illustrations are exceedingly charming as they depict the children interacting with

zebras, sea horses, porcupines and a variety of other animals. 12 pp. (including wrappers)

Measures 5" x 2 3/4".

• Rhymes and Jingles for Wee Fold, 1920s, The Western and Southern Life Insurance Company

Founded in Cincinnati in 1888, the Western and Southern Life Insurance Company is still in

existence today. Printed in full color, this booklet features well known nursery rhymes such as

'Rub-a-dub-dub', and the 'Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe'. The real show stopper of this

booklet though are the illustrations drawn by Vernon Simeon Plemion Grant. Vernon Grant was

an American illustrator known for his use of color, and his vivid poster-like paintings of his

whimsical gnome characters and fairy tale drawings. Each page in this booklet is full of Grant's

amazing, fantastical and brightly colored drawings. The only mention of the publishers is on the

back cover, which is a full-page advertisement showcasing the insurance company's home office

in Cincinnati. There is however a small piece of financial advice on the bottom of each page, such

as "Save money now and have money later" and "Little dimes make big endowments." 12 pp.

(including wrappers) Measures 6 1/4" x 3 3/4".

• The Wonderful Adventures of Dolly May, 1926, Farm Life Publishing Co. Farm Life was a

monthly magazine full of articles about farming. However, in order to also appeal to a female

audience, it also had sections on gardening and how-to tips for women. They also sold through

magazine a variety of products, such as Dolly May. This booklet tells the story of Dolly May and

the (mis)adventures she goes on. The story starts in a toy store where Dolly May is the most

popular of toys due to her sweet disposition, and 'flirting eyes.' Apparently, her blue eyes can

open and shut like a real child's eyes, and as such everyone loves her; especially a little Chinaman

doll who wants to kidnap her and carry her away to his castle. Luckily (or unluckily) for Dolly

May before he can, she stumbles across a wonderful, enchanting garden where she then

promptly kidnapped by an evil witch. What follows is her adventures as she escapes and tries to

find a little girl to take care of her. At the end of the story she comes across a doll orphan's home

run by a woman named Aunt Molly, who promises to find a home for her. The booklet ends with

a short paragraph that speaks directly to the reader, asking "are you the little girl who wants

Dolly May to keep?" The book is full fanciful illustrations in black and white with red accents. 16

pp. (including wrappers) Measures 8 1/2" x 5 1/2".
