Master than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings at a single bound. Up in the sky, it's a bird. It's a plane. It's Superman. Kellogg's PEP. P-E-P-PEP. Kellogg's PEP, the sunshine cereal, presents the adventures of Superman.

Hey, Superman is unaware that while Metropolis sleeps, an ugly menace to America is being prepared to strike against the freedom and well-being of all Americans. Hello there, gang. This is your pal Dan McCullough.

Say, have you noticed how many different kinds of characters there are in that new series of comic buttons catalogued's Pappas-Buddha-Gah? There are blondes, you know, like Cindy, and redheads like Brenda Starr, and kids like Judy and Kirky, and heroes like Superman.

Yes, sir, among those eighteen different funny-paper characters, you'll find all sorts of pictures. That's one reason that these pet comic buttons look so nifty when you wear them pinned on your jacket or your dresser cat.

They really show up! As for dog-gone-good fun, well, nothing beats the thrill of getting a new button whenever Mom opens a new package of pet. And trading duplicates with your pals, too. And are these buttons easy to get?

You don't have to send in a single penny, not even a box stop. And you can't buy them anywhere. All you do is to ask Mom to get you some Kellogg's pet and look inside the package for your prize and say, well, you're about to get a load of how terrific these toasty whole wheat flakes taste at breakfast on a cold morning.

Mmm, mmm, crisp and tender and freshest can be and loaded with a catchy sunshine flavor that keeps you digging right in for more. You know, Pep is called the Sunshine cereal. It gives you good old Sunshine Vitamin D.
