What a big baby!

I thought this would bring back a few memories, can you spot the dummy? This young girl looks to be at least 8 or 9 or even 10 years old as she has adult front teeth. I do remember when baby food came in tins, National Dried Milk I think it was called in a white tin with blue writing on it. My Father used the tins to make make stilts for us. He cut holes in the bottom and threaded string through them to make handles 
Now it's all called Formula 
Just sharing because I love this one

I'd say about 16 and the ad was aimed at the pedophile market.

  It's an advertising postcard Erato, you do make me laugh.

Added: It's dated 1924

Perhaps this one is advertising cheap labour!!

You did remind me of the tin can stilts and I've been trying to recall what kind of cans we used - maybe V8 juice.

[Treetotal]

This is what we used.

Dried milk cans were famously used to manufacture all manner of useful objects in POW camps during WW2. I doubt that stilts were among them!   

The brand, shipped in Red Cross parcels, was KLIM.

Interesting, I wouldn't know, I wasn't born until a few years after WW2 had ended.

Here's how they were advertising dried milk in the US at about that time.  Interestingly, the child is named  -  Dorothy Marie Caram of Iron Mountain, Michigan.  I think I'll try to find her on the census.

Our youngest brother was fed from tins of Sister Lauras dried milk powder, which I think was named after a nurse in glasgow.

My mother kept her old buttons in one of those tins but the tins we used as stilts were cocoa tins and one of my brothers and his pal slung a string between our two houses with a cocoa tin on either end of the string and used that as a phone to chat to each other
