Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad that is for Yardley English Lavender cosmetics. This ad has the scene of a tree by the side of a small creek and the headline says that it is “fresh from the English countryside”. It then says that “…the lilting fragrance of Lavender is brought to you by Yardley. Subtly blended with precious oils, there is only one Yardley Lavender. Though it’s luxurious beyond compare, you will want to use it as generously as toilet water. It’s right for all your doings. Enjoy this unique fragrance, too, in creamy-lathering Lavender Soap“. Below these words it shows the Yardley English Lavender with a price of $1.75, the Dusting Powder for $1.65, the Lavender Soap for $1.35 (for a box of three) and the Bath Size for 75 cents per tablet.
