There was a crooked man — and he chewed Doublemint.

A year before the Miss Muffet campaign, Wrigley's was already enchanting readers with Mother Goose. This full-color, full-page spread from the September 1927 Ladies Home Journal features the Crooked Man in vivid storybook illustration. The reverse carries a Nairn Gold Seal Inlaid Linoleum Flooring advertisement — a charming domestic pairing that captures the warmth of late 1920s home life.

Frame it for a nursery, kitchen, or vintage gallery wall. A delightful gift for ephemera collectors or lovers of illustrated Americana. Note: two in stock — the first will be in perfect condition; if only one remains, it will have a tiny tear and small dot on the margins, both easily matted away.
