Dionne quintuplets/Quaker Oats Dream Home contest, 1935

I do not like this ad. I do not like how the quints were exploited, and... here! Have an ad so I won't rant!

I tagged this as "contest" because it was one, but this is obviously not a contest entry for the comm!

Umm, all of them, so I could strap them into modern car seats and take them back to their parents? 'Grocers! You're in on this too,' isn't making me feel too kindly towards them, either. I am kind of amazed that you could just address something to a business in Saskatoon or Peterboro and have it arrive . . . or maybe they didn't want to bother with Canadian entries, and that wouldn't work. I don't have any living family members who were around then, so I can't ask.
