The headline says "Valentines, Violets and Vows for them" over a series of three pictures that first show a young lady dreaming of three men with the caption asking "Who has her heart?", next of her accepting a ring with the caption "Engaged to Van" and finally she is daydreaming again as the caption sings "Here comes the bride". The next headline claims that "Wise Girls depend on this EXTRA SKIN CARE - They cream EXTRA "SKIN-VITAMIN" into their skin!" and there are four more pictures of actual women in the news who admit to using Pond's Cold Cream. We see Nancy Hoguet in action, a picture of Anne Clark Roosevelt being photographed, Camilla Morgan at her wedding and Marjorie Fairchild leaving on her honeymoon after receiving 245 presents.

The text gives further information on how to properly use Pond's and mentions other, famous women who use it and the ad has another, smaller picture of her doing her War Work which was working one day each week as a Child Care Aid working with young children while their mothers, so many of them, performed the jobs that were necessary for the production of the multitude of items needed for the war effort.
