Tampax menstrual tampons educational folder for home economics teachers
"Coming of Age
" by Lawrence H. Mayers, M.D.
Early 1940s-1950s?, U.S.A.
Whole folder
Page 3

First page and introduction

See Tampax's Accent on you . . . (1970-80s?), "it's time you knew . . .," and Tampax Satin Learner's Kit (for menstruation), 2001, in 3 languages.

I thank the Dutch contributor of these and other scans and items to this museum!

Below:  P. 3.  Below this colorless image is the page with the original colors
The text at right says the folder is for home economics teachers - and the company wants
them to talk up Tampax
maybe like on pages 7 & 8.

Below: The page's original color, which I converted to black and white to
improve readability (above) and speed download. A little improvement, huh?
The salmon color at left is the background of every page.
Next page | cover - p. 2 - p. 3 - p. 4 - p. 5 - p. 6 - p. 7 - p. 8
