Four store displays offering
reproductions of
Modess pad fashion photograph ads, 1957,
U.S.A.
| More commentary
here.
I thank the frequent Dutch
contributor for these scans of
his possessions!

Below:
The scan donor gives the measurements
as follows (each of the displays is
the same size):
The height: 360 mm; the width at top
310 mm (14.17"), in the middle at its
widest 505 mm (19.9"),
and at bottom 465 mm (18.3"). The
thickness of the cardboard is 3 mm,
(about 1/10").
The woman at left is probably Juba, who
also appears on the first card
and on Modess
playing cards and on the company's
pad belt.
