Item Description
10.25x16.75" one-sided glossy paper sheet issued in 1931 to promote Ovaltine voting contest. Idea was for person to vote for Annie's or Joe's Ovaltine recipe and in turn would be sent a full color celluloid button featuring portrait image of the person they voted for. Illustration at top is of both w/their versions of Ovaltine drink plus Sandy and directly below are their recipes. Annie's recipe includes ice while Joe's includes ice cream. At lower left are example images of the two buttons. Lower right has voting coupon. Text at top reads "Little Orphan Annie's New Drink...Ice Cold Ovaltine." From the first year Ovaltine issued premiums and probably the second premium issued (sheet music is considered to be the first). One horizontal, two vertical folds. Some lt. color rubs along two of the fold lines. Still VF overall. Rare.
