A PERFECT HAND.
How Its Appearance Became Fa1ni1-
lar to the Public.

How It's Appearance Became Fa1nI1-
lar to the Public.
The story of how probably the most
perfect feminine hand in America be-
came known to the people is rather in
teresting.
As the story goes the possessor of the
hand was with some friends in photo
graDher's one day and while talking,
held up piece of candy. The pose Of
the hand with its perfect contour and
faultless shape attracted the attention
Of the artist who proposed to photo
graph it. The result was a beautiful
picture kept in the family until one
day, after reading a letter from some
one inQuiring as to who wrote the Pos
tum and Grape Nuts advertisements,
Mr. Post said to his wife, 1--WE receive
so many inquiries of this kind, that 1t
is evident some people are curious to
know, suppose we let the advertising
hand to print and name it "A Help
ing Hand" (Mrs. Post has assisted
him in preparation of some Of the
most famous advertisements
There was a natural shrinking from
the publicity. but with an agreement
that 10 name would accompany the
picture its use was granted.
The case was presented in the light
of extending a welcoming hand to the
friends Of Postum and Grape-Nuts, so
ho
ers of many of the January and Febru
AIRY magazines and became known to
millions of people.
Many artists have commented upon
It as probably the most perfect hand
In the world.
The advertising department of the
Postum Co did not seem able to resist
the temptation to enlist the curiosity
Of the public, by refraining from Civ
ing the name of the owner when the
picture appeared, but stated that the
name would be given later in one of
the newspaper announcements, thus
seeking to induce the readers to look
for and read the forthcoming advertise
ments to learn the name of the owner.
This combination of art and com.
merce and the multitude of inquiries
furnishes an excellent illustration OF
the interest the public takes in the
personal and family life of large man
ufacturers. whose names become house
hold words through extensive and con-
tinuous announcements in newspapers
and periodicals.
