Well, I don't have a pretty graphic. I don't have a nice poem. I haven't had an inspiration for a new cartoon in nigh on to 3 years. So.. what about a mental picture of something you may have heard on the radio in 1948:

Keen eyes fixed on a flying target.
A gleaming arrow set against a raw-hide string.
A strong bow bent almost to the breaking point.
And then.......

Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight Arrow!

To friends and neighbors alike, Steve Adams
appeared to be nothing more than the young
owner of the Broken Bow Ranch.
But, when evil-do'ers plotted against justice
and danger threatened innocent people,
Steve Adams rancher disappeared and in his
place stood the legendary figure of:

Straaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaight Arrow!

(the sound of horse's hooves thundering out of the secret cave)

Kaw-nee-wah Fureeeeeeee!

This program is brought to you by:

N-A-B-I-S-C-O Nabisco is the name to know.
For a breakfast you can't beat,
try Nabisco Shredded Wheat.

These were the large biscuits of shredded wheat and in between the layers of biscuits there was a cardboard divider with "Injun" lore on it. On the back of the box was an order form for a signal arrowhead or a tom-tom or some other really "swell" item.

Hubby still enjoys Shredded Wheat.
I haven't eaten it for many years;
Marissa likes the Bite Size Shredded Wheat.

Thanks for bringing back childhood memories.

Have a wonderful Day!

Fewz, that is a GREAT visual! Thank you for sharing it with us!

GeeBee was my teacher when I first signed up here and didn’t know how to post pictures. (Or anything else, for that matter.)

Once I “lernt’ it, I’ve become a nuisance, I’m afraid!
