This text paper is a low quality paper typical of coloring books; it is slightly yellowed with some faint foxing near fore-edge. It is in remarkably good and apparently never used by a child. Copy 2: poor condition: it lacks the first leaf (pp [1]-2); heavily worn; colored as would be typical for a copy played with by a young child. The Cocomalt ad depicts a typical can. It compares the local nutrition of an "Egyptian Boy" and "Eskimo Boy" to an "American Boy" and promotes Cocomalt as necessary nourishment for the "American."
