Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Reducing Candies. This ad tells the story of Christine Stanley who is a German lady who had struggled with being heavy since she was a child. Her husband met her when he was stationed in Germany and they married and had two children. He was sent to Thailand and she stayed with the children and became determined to lose weight, the safe way. The ad has two pictures of her, both in bathing suits. In the first picture she is shown with one of her children at the beach and the second picture is also taken at the beach and, as the headline says, “I lost 86 pounds before my husband came home on leave”. The text tells of his surprise when he came home and gives her “before” and “after” measurements.
