Nestle Laborer and Children

 Here the family father is advising his children to fill in their Nestlé albums: that is productive work!  The verso then reminds us of the story of the laborer who entices his children – albeit after his death – to dig into the family farm.  Work, not luck, brings success.  As far as I am aware, Europeans more than Americans provided children with advertising albums into which to paste small stamps.  This collection has several such promoted by Menier chocolate candy.  The verso moralizes that there is no luck involved in assembling a Nestlé album, and work will bring a reward of 50 Francs for a completed album!
