Description

Colgate Ad August 1960Black and white 5″ x 13″ ad for their Dental Cream with Gardol and how it can change your life. The ad has a series of pictures that tell an unfortunate story. The first picture shows an attractive young lady who is at a carnival with her young brother and, as she watches him happily ride the Merry-Go-Round, she mentally complains that “No One wants to Go Round with Me!”. She begins to spoil the young boy’s fun by speaking up about her misfortune and he moves to the side where he doesn’t have to be downwind of her and diplomatically suggests that “Maybe you should study up on that, Sis”. The next picture shows Sue talking to an elderly female dentist who explains the benefit of Colgate which brings us to the last picture which shows Sue, her young brother and a young man who seems to have a half-crazed look on his face together on what must have been an uncomfortable date.
