9 thoughts on “1923 Malt Breakfast Food Advertisement”
I remember having Maltex cereal when I was a kid. Haven’t seen it for years, but then again, I haven’t been looking for it.
It probably costs a bit more than a penny a serving.
One of the interesting things about these old advertisements is how old “mother” is often portrayed to be. The image would be more of a grandmother type figure today, not a mother.
My mother preferred cream of wheat, too! We did eat oatmeal, and once when she was out of cereal, she made corn meal mush. I recall not liking it, although we always ate cornbread and loved it, and I still do.

We sometimes had malt-o-meal for breakfast. Haven’t had any lately.
Us, too! I preferred malt-o-meal over Cream of Wheat back then. Remember “winners warm up with malt-o-meal!”
I preferred malt-o-meal too, but my mother must have liked cream of wheat best because we usually had that. Or oatmeal.

I’m old, but I don’t remember ever hearing of malt cereals.
We ate Malt-o-meal and Cream of Wheat all the time growing up. I have both those in my pantry as I type! Nothing better on a cold morning!!
