Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13 1/2″ ad for Scot Tissue Toilet Paper Rolls. This ad has a picture showing a mother, glowing with the expectancy of the future, holding her newborn child up above her head. The look on the child’s face, to me, is something like, “Whoa, whoa, what am I doing up so high. Wait a minute. Put me down”. The ad tells us that there are “1,000 Sheets To A Roll…and So Soft for his Tender Skin”. Down below, they tell us that “1,000 Sheets – over 1/2 more than the 650 sheets you get from most other brands”. They then tells us that “For finest quality – for outstanding value – Scot Tissue is your best buy! The big 1,000-sheet roll goes further, lasts longer – gives you 1/2 more tissues than the 650 sheets you get from most other brands. And Scot Tissue’s important ‘tender skin’ qualities – softness, strength and absorbency – make it the ideal bathroom tissue for baby, perfect for every member of the family, too. Be sure to buy several rolls of Scot Tissue next time you go shopping. See if you don’t agree that it’s the world’s finest quality tissue – and the world’s best value”.
