| Advertisement Text | Knox Gelatine gives your customer both quality and quantity because it is absolutely pure and makes more jelly to the package than any other kind. Pays you a good profit and is easy to sell because it is widely advertised, and recommended by cooking experts and medical authorities everywhere. |
| Contextual Notes | In 1890, Charles Knox created the first pre-granulated gelatine. When he died in 1908, his wife Rose took control of the world's largest unflavored gelatine company and gradually transformed gelatine into a common household staple.
