Girl Scouts & Bread













 

Occasionally Girl Scouting was saluted by bread makers.

These easily tossable items are a rare find.

​

1921 Matthaei's Bread "Invisible Color Picture"

​

This item was included inside the wrapper of Matthaei's Bread. Using a wet paint brush on the card, the colors would magically appear.

​

Patented July 12-21

Mentions that there are Girl Scouts in 26 countries, gives the Girl Scout slogan, motto and laws.

​

Insist upon Matthaei's (say Mat-tay's) Bread Every Day and get a different one of these Invisible Color Pictures FREE. Be sure to get a complete series of these pictures (illegible) with each loaf for a limited time.

Another Bread Card featuring a Girl Scout. The font used for this card and the card above are similar, but this one says Girl Scouts, Inc.

​

Unknown Bread Company

I think that these are bread cards, but I am not certain.

​

One says American Boy Scout and the other says American Girl Scout. Both have writing in the corner that says Copyright - but I can't make out the name.

Little Miss Sunbeam debuted in the 1940's to promote Sunbeam Bread. Somewhere along the way she became a Brownie Girl Scout.
