n 1895, Kellogg's commercial production of wheat flaked cereal began with 100,000 ten-ounce boxes being produced by the end of that year. Corn flakes were born a few years later.

herry-Pear Muffins
would start off any day right, as would
Baked Banana Doughnuts
! The

with their bright fruits?

would thrill any rhubarb lover. And
Golden Carrot Cake
will be a real winner with my family.
