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.

Aw....how good is that, I wish my model had been named. I might try a google image match  :D

Rena...I haven't heard of that one, I remember Nurse Harvey's Gripe Water for baby colic.  ;D
I think every household had a Button Tin, I have one from the late Ma-In-Law and it has a wooden darning mushroom and glass buttons, also an assortment of silver thimbles  ;D

"how good is that"

Not very good.  I think Dorothy Marie was a fraud.  I have found no record of such a person.  What a sucker I am; I actually believed the ad for about five or ten minutes.

So Iron Mountain failed to deliver back then as well as now with our Wills!
Looking at ALSTON in south Ribble area, ALSTEAD and DONBAVAND/DUNBABIN etc. everywhere, HOWCROFT and MARSH in Bolton and Westhoughton, PICKERING in the Whitehaven area.

Having looked online at advertising postcards, there are a couple of Glaxo Babies. I think this girl was just in fancy dress and not advertising the product.
I do vaguely remember the brand though..and the boat shaped, double feeding bottle.

I can’t show or mention how I fed my babies ,I think it might be called “Indecent Exposure “. although nowadays anything goes!

I think Dorothy Marie was a fraud.

I think this is her here in 1930:

https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:33SQ-GRZN-X7Y

Name spelt as CAREM and transcribed as CARLEN.  Her father was 'a former Iron Mountain resident' when he shot a man in 1933.
