in 1945, Kellogg's Cereal issued a premium set of cards promoting the Tom Breneman Breakfast in Hollywood show. Breneman hosted the show from 1941 through 1948 and the audience participated during the show where he interviewed famous people of Hollywood during this time. Cards in the set picture stars such as: Carmen Miranda, Eddie Cantor, Sonja Henie, Bob Hope and others.
This lot includes a near set of PC873 Kellogg's "Tom Breneman's Breakfast in Hollywood" including (13/14) cards and an additional postcard which serves as a ticket to his show. The postcard show date was April 23, 1948 and it was postally used on April 25th, 1948. Interestingly, Tom Breneman passed away three short days later on April 28, 1948 in Encino, California and the show was never the same. The networks attempted to move forward with Garry Moore but the ratings dropped and it came to an end in January 1949.
