Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their Menthol-Iced Lather Shave. The ad has an attractive lady in a sun-suit leaning against the bow of a wooden boat. This drawing was done by Mingo and contains the ad headline “They all tell me…You feel Cool. I’ll tell you…You Look Smooth”. Norman Mingo was an artist who, after doing cover art and sexy pin-ups for years, became famous when he created Alfred E. Neuman for Mad magazine and did their covers for twenty years. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad are not visible in the scanned view.
