Description
Full color 10″ x 13 1/2″ ad for their Nylons in a variety of colors. The ad has a picture of an attractive lady sitting in a red and white striped gown and wearing Van Raalte Nylons on her long and statuesque legs. She has placed a finger from her right hand on her forehead and has closed her eyes in concentration as she holds a Crystal Ball in her left. The ad text says “Forecast colors in the nicest of nylons” and lists, with descriptions, the colors available as being Tea Leaf, Sandstone, Gypsy Tan and Golden Hour. The ad mentions that these items are sold for $1.35 to $1.95 and that Van Raalte is famous for underwear and gloves too. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
