1910's CAMPBELLS SOUP KIDS

Campbell’s Condensed Soup hit the market in 1897 and soon after they started advertising. Since it was a new type of product it had to be advertised so people would know what it was, how to make it and, most important, to develop a need for the soup.

Grace Drayton was a popular illustrator who developed the popular Campbell Kids in ads in the early 20th century. The kids proved very popular and remained advertising icons for decades and many collectables were created with their images.
