About this postcard:
This card is in very good condition and shows an early factory with women in long dresses and early Postum box advertisement. They were located in Battle Creek, Michigan.
"One of several Post toasties packing rooms in the postum cereal company's pure food factories at Battle Creek Michigan not once is the product touched by hand."
Postum History from the kraftcanda.com site:
"In 1895, C.W. Post made his first batch of Postum Cereal Beverage in a little white barn in Battle Creek, Michigan. With that step he entered the brand new retail cereal industry. In 1897, he introduced Post Grape-Nuts Cereal, one of the first ready-to-eat cold cereals. He followed that success with a corn flakes product in 1904 which he called Elijah's Manna (renamed Post Toasties in 1908). In 1911, Post introduced a refinement of his original product, Postum Instant Cereal Beverage. Post used marketing techniques that are now considered industry standards, but which were innovative for their time. These included extensive advertising, coupons, free samples, product demonstrations, plant tours and recipe booklets.
Post died in 1914, but Postum Cereal Company continued to follow the formula for success which he had established: selling high-quality, nutritious cereal products through marketing and advertising techniques that appealed to the common man and woman."
