Cream of Wheat man gets his tombstone

Some long-overdue packaging news this morning. The Associated Press reports: “A man widely believed to be the model for the smiling chef on Cream of Wheat boxes finally has a grave marker bearing his name. Frank L. White died in 1938, and until this week, his grave in Woodlawn Cemetery [in Leslie, Mich.] bore only a tiny concrete marker with no name. On Wednesday, a granite gravestone was placed at his burial site. It bears his name and an etching taken from the man depicted on the Cream of Wheat box.”
