Description
Full color 5″ x 13″ wartime ad talks about the Avon Medallion of Honor which is given to Women of Achievement as decided by a committee consisting of C. Mildred Thompson, Gladys Swarthout and Fannie Hurst. This particular award is going to Lieut. Lois Brownell, U.S.N.R “as a symbol of appreciation of the wonderful achievements of the WAVES”. The only reference to cosmetics in this ad is the statement to welcome your Avon representative when she calls. This ad is taller than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
