(Scans) Jackie Robinson Bond Bread Newspaper Ads 1947-1950
 

Thought I would make a nice, clean post containing all the Jackie Robinson Bond Bread newspaper ads I could find in chronological order and listing the newspapers I could find them in.

These ads do not appear to have run continuously throughout the year, only appearing in the month listed.

Only the very first ad mentions a card.

I think it is safe to say that General Baking rolled out the first cards in mid-season 1947. I would also hazard a guess that many old-timers who in effect said "I never saw them in 1947" probably did not if they were white kids.
