Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 13″ ad for their Hair Tonic. The ad has a series of two pictures that tell a story; not a pretty story, just the one they want you to hear. The top picture shows a young man who has been playing tennis with a young lady. His hair is flying wildly and the lady is looking very concerned and thinking “oh-oh, Dry Scalp!”. In the next picture this same young man is standing in front of the bathroom mirror with his bottle of Vaseline Hair Tonic and slicked-down hair and he mentally checks-off “Hair looks better…scalp feels better…when you check Dry Scalp”.
