Theme
Using an animal for purposes of advertising, Philip Goodwin depicts a large brown bear in the wilderness heartily devouring a crate full of Cream of Wheat cereal.
First marketed in 1893 by a group of flour millers in Grand Forks, North Dakota, Cream of Wheat cereal was an instant popular success. The growing business moved to Minneapolis in 1897, where it remains today as the Special Products Division of the National Biscuit Company.
