Description
Full color 9 1/2″ x 12″ ad for Alka-Seltzer. This Christmastime ad has a picture of the popular entertainer taking the place of Santa Claus. Sammy is sitting in the driver’s seat of the sleigh looking back at the camera while holding up a glass filled with the Plop Plop Fizz Fizz. He must be only going to do a small portion of the route of Santa because all that one can see in the bag full of gifts is packages and more packages of Alka Seltzer. The ad has rearranged the words to the popular poem “Twas the night before Christmas” to have a more commercial meaning. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
