Scope and content
Two loaves of Roman Meal bread were dramatically displayed on a black background on July 10, 1957. The bread was baked in two different locations and accordingly labeled. Both the Amrhein's Roman Meal of Springfield, Illinois, and Braun's Roman Meal of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, were light brown breads that were vitamin fortified. The bread was a mixture of white, whole wheat, bran and rye bread. Roman Meal Bread was said to be "so good tasting" and "so good for your figure." Consumers could write for a special diet plan that utilized this particular brand of bread. Photograph ordered by Tacoma Engraving.
