Description
Black and white 4 3/4″ x 10 3/4″ ad for their Fast Pain Reliever. The ad has a picture of a man on a racing motorcycle and the caption says that “The fastest Dirt Track Motorcycle travels 1 Kilometer in 19.3 seconds, but in only TWO SECONDS Bayer Aspirin is ready to go to work!”. The ad text challenges you to prove this fact by dropping a Bayer Aspirin into a glass of water and you will see for yourself that it starts to dissolve within two seconds. It must have taken very little to convince us of things a long time ago.
