Description
Black and white 5 1/4″ x 13 3/4″ ad for Pepsodent Tooth Powder. This ad starts off with the headline asking “Can twins be divorced?” and has a drawing that shows two ladies standing as it relates “The Davis Twins, United Air Lines Stewardesses, tell how Pepsodent Tooth Powder came between them”. Following are two different photos stating that “‘We’re typical twins, Athalie and I. Look alike, dress alike, share the same problems of mistaken identity. We’ve always been together on everything…except one. That was the time I divorced my twin…for test purposes only. I switched to Pepsodent Tooth Powder. Athalie went on using another well-known brand'”.The next photo shows them standing next to another plane and the text says that “‘Even when we dressed alike, people began to know us apart. My teeth became twice as bright as my twin’s…thanks to Pepsodent! It was easy to tell who was who…but not for long. Athalie had enough of our trial seperation. So she switched to Pepsodent too. And is she glad. Nothing but Pepsodent for us from now on'”. The last picture in this ad shows the two girls standing, hand in hand, as the headline states that the “Davis twins confirm laboratory proof that Pepsodent Powder makes teeth TWICE AS BRIGHT”.
