Description
Black and white 8″ x 11 1/2″ ad for their Cold Cream. The headline says “Valentines, Violets and Vows for them” over a series of three pictures that first show a young lady dreaming of three men with the caption asking “Who has her heart?”, next of her accepting a ring with the caption “Engaged to Van” and finally she is daydreaming again as the caption sings “Here comes the bride”. The next headline claims that “Wise Girls depend on this EXTRA SKIN CARE – They cream EXTRA “SKIN-VITAMIN” into their skin!” and there are four more pictures of actual women in the news who admit to using Pond’s Cold Cream. We see Nancy Hoguet in action, a picture of Anne Clark Roosevelt being photographed, Camilla Morgan at her wedding and Marjorie Fairchild leaving on her honeymoon after receiving 245 presents. The text mentions the Vitamin A and it’s importance to good skin.
