Hello, Everyone
This 1896-1899 early F. W. RUECKHEIM & BRO. LARGE POSTER was displayed in the hall of executives of the Cracker Jack Company Plant in Chicago. I enjoyed the great graphics in this poster!

That little boy looks downright evil to me
His mother probably liked him best

His sister is getting ready to smack him upside his head with that doll if he doesn't share!

I didn't notice it right away, but underneath the sister it says
"I'd like some too."

What's the prize he is holding in his right hand? It would seem to be a prize that pre-dates prizes actually being put in boxes, therefore a point-of-sale item?

Hello, gsullivan
That is a piece of Cracker Jack the boy is taunting his sister with in the scene!
That piece of C. J. is a little on the burnt side though!
