Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that lets us in on just what kind of a man really uses Vaseline Hair Tonic. At the top of the page is a close-up of the lady with wondering eyes and then the story is told in pictures. A man in a tux is dropping his date off at her apartment and waves good-bye as she walks toward the door. Behind him several motorcyclists come up and stop for some harassment. They circle him on their bikes and start to get off when one pulls out a lead pipe and starts to raise it over his head. Our hero uses a crescent kick to separate the man from his pipe which goes flying up in the air only to be retrieved by the man in the tux. He taps the offender on the forehead and stands firmly in control as the attractive blonde, who rode up on the back of the leader’s bike, comes forward with a look of desire on her face. “The man who knows how to take care of himself uses Vaseline Hair Tonic“ is the claim made by the manufacturer but I am not sure if Karate lessons come with your purchase.
