From: Ralston


The following description of this cereal comes from a vintage 1929 advertisement:

"Checkr-Corn Flake (is) Medium Thick

"Thick enough to stay crisp in cream - light enough to be tasty. Checkr-Corn Flake interests the most finicky appetite. Ask your grocer for the corn flake in the attractive Checkerboard package."

Company Description: Ralston was originally part of The Ralston-Purina Company which was formed in 1902. The name Ralston stems from a minor social movement in the late 19th Century called Ralstonism - created by Webster Edgerly. Followers of the movement (about 800,000) followed the motto "Regime, Activity, Light, Strength, Temperation, Oxygen and Nature" - the first letters of which spelled out "Ralston"...
