Happy Melox Families

The “Game of Happy Melox Families” children's cards was published by G. Clarke & Son of Thomas Street, London, in 1929 to promote Melox dog food. The families are represented by seven breeds of dog, shown engaged in leisure activities such as playing sports, answering the telephone, reading or playing with toys.

This is a companion to Parkinson’s Happy Families with the same small size cards obviously by the same unknown maker.
