Description
Black and white 5 1/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Old Spice Spray and Stick Deodorants. At the top of this ad there are two photos, one of each kind of their deodorants, and the ad claims that they are “Both in plastic!”. The text of the ad starts off by proclaiming that “Men! Two great deodorants for all-day protection! And either gives you safe, sure man-sized coverage!”. The ad then discusses each of the two deodorants. The first is “Old Spice Spray Deodorant is the quickest-drying spray! By actual test, dries twice as fast as other leading sprays. Spreads on the skin more rapidly; doesn’t trickle down your side. And it’s a fine anti-perspirant: non-irritating, non-sticky, non-staining”. Then we have the “Old Spice Stick Deodorant applies and dries faster than any roll-on, any cream, any ordinary stick. Two quick strokes give complete coverage, and you’re safe all day. In new unbreakable plastic case; no foil to fuss with – just remove the cap, and it’s ready”.
