History- (from Wikipedia) – Green Giant is a brand of frozen and canned vegetables owned by General Mills. The company began as The Minnesota Valley Canning Company and was founded in 1903 in Le Sueur, Minnesota. The brand "Green Giant" was originally used for a large variety of pea, "Green Giant Great Big Tender Peas", in 1925. The figure of a giant was introduced in 1928. The company was renamed to the Green Giant Company in 1950.
Condition- This ad is in excellent condition and measures 10 ¼ x 14.
You can pick this up in Porters Lake. I do go into northend Halifax once a week during the lunch hour and could meet you there if that is easier.
