Scope and content
Breakfast nooks were very popular in the 1950s. It looks like Melvin Paulson (12) had first dibs on the Cheerios as he and his three brothers enjoy breakfast in their new breakfast nook in September of 1950. From left to right are Steven (3), Melvin, Gerald (15) and Robert (6), sons of Selma and Clifford Paulson. The Paulsons' breakfast nook was custom built and upholstered and fits perfectly around a chrome table. The nook could be used for breakfast, lunch or snacks and as shown, could be large enough to seat at least four growing boys. (TNT 9-24-50, p. B-2)
