This post tickles me.  When was the last time you saw a flyer advertising MILK and the benefits.  In this day and age with lactose intolerance, soy milk, almond milk, and powdered milk, I can’t imagine a flyer this complex.

But here it is:  straight from the heyday of Showalter’s Dairy.  A fold out advertisement promoting the benefits of drinking milk.  Check out these amazing facts about Vitamin D Milk:

“Nature’s Ideal Food”

“Helps to prevent Rickets” (defective calcification of bones)

“builds teeth and bone”

“aids in the assimilation of calcium and phosphorus”

“helps build skeletal health”

It talks about science and  tests and reports and….it goes on and on!  Even boasts a badge from the American Medical Association.
