Indexer Notes
Ad for Wheaties cereal, sponsor of this giveaway premium, offering Disney character masks on the back of each box to cut out and wear. The ad copy offers "8 different masks" - Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, Cinderella, Dumbo, Bambi, and Brer Rabbit. The ad features a full figure illustration of Goofy, holding masks of Dumbo, Bambi, Brer Rabbit, Cinderella, and Lucifer the Cat - the latter of which is not among the "8 different masks" mentioned in the ad copy.
A rare advertisement for Wheaties cereal that does not feature an athlete of any kind.
