| Acrilon |
Full color 9 1/4" x 13" ad for the Luxury Sweaters of Acrilan with actress Ava Gardner. The ad has a very seductive photo of the actress standing with her hands on her hips while wearing a cardigan sweater loose on her shoulders and a very tight white sweater under that. The ad headline claims that "what Ava Gardner has you can have too...". The ad mentions that she is co-starring in the new movie Bhowani Junction. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view. |
