The text in this ad says that "The sure way to Natural Sheen - Natural Softness! Expect a surprise when you see how naturally lovely your hair looks...after you condition it with clear, liquid Drene Shampoo. For sparkling Drene, unlike heavy, slow-to-lather soap or cream shampoos, never, never hides the beauty of your hair under a dulling film! You see, this marvelous Drene with Conditioning Action does far more than "just wash" your hair! Instantly, it forms rich billows of fragrant, thorough-cleansing lather that actually conditions as it cleanses...conditions your hair to its loveliest natural sheen and softness - leaves it so wonderfully easy to manage! Today - get Drene and see how excitingly lovely your hair can look when it's beauty-conditioned by Drene. Remember, only a liquid shampoo like Drene can leave your hair so glossy, so soft, yet so manageable. And Drene is the only shampoo with this Conditioning Action...for all types of hair".

This is very evident by the picture of a man and a woman dancing together and the woman just happens to notice that the man has flakes of white on his shoulder, the shoulder which she is having to put her chin near. There is a box under this picture with the words "The Treatment. MEN: Douse full-strength Listerine Antiseptic on the scalp morning and night. WOMEN: Part the hair at various places, and apply Listerine Antiseptic right along the part with a medicine dropper, to avoid wetting the hair excessively". The text in the ad says that you should "Get after it with LISTERINE at the first sign of trouble. What makes the infectious type of dandruff so annoying, so distressing, are those troublesome flakes on collar or dress...and the scalp irritation and itching...that so often accompany the condition. If you've got the slightest evidence of this common form of dandruff, act now before it gets worse. Has Helped Thousands Start right in with Listerine Antiseptic and massage. This is the medical treatment that has shown such amazing results in a substantial majority of clinical test cases...the treatment that has also helped thousands of other people. You, too, may find it as helpful as it is delightful. Listerine is so easy, so simple to use, and so stimulating! You simply douse it on the scalp morning and night and follow with vigorous and persistent massage. Thousands of users have marvelled at how flakes and scales begin to disappear. And remember: Kills 'Bottle Bacillus' Listerine Antiseptic kills millions of germs on scalp and hair, including Pityrosporum Ovale, the strange 'Bottle Bacillus' recognized by outstanding dandruff specialists as a causative agent of infectious dandruff. This germ-killing action, we believe, helps to explain why, in a clinical test, 76% of dandruff patients showed either complete disappearance of or marked improvement in the symptoms of dandruff within a month".

At the top of the page is a close-up of the lady with wondering eyes and then the story is told in pictures. A man in a tux is dropping his date off at her apartment and waves good-bye as she walks toward the door. Behind him several motorcyclists come up and stop for some harassment. They circle him on their bikes and start to get off when one pulls out a lead pipe and starts to raise it over his head. Our hero uses a crescent kick to seperate the man from his pipe which goes flying up in the air only to be retreived by the man in the tux. He taps the offender on the forehead and stands firmly in control as the attractive blonde, who rode up on the back of the leader's bike, comes forward with a look of desire on her face. "The man who knows how to take care of himself uses Vaseline Hair Tonic" is the claim made by the manufacturer but I am not sure if Karate lessons come with your purchase.

In the second photo the man is explaining that "I can't change it and get back before the next race". In the third photo the first man is examining it and thinks that "It looks good but is it?". He then says to the second man "I'll sign my tab then see if I have it". In the next photo it shows what the man has signed, a ticket that says "Call the Police. He's passing counterfeit money!" and, the waiter looks at it and thinks, "He must be sure of himself. But how does he know?". The next picture shows the man being arrested by the police and the caption tells us that "It was a 1950D bill. It had Henry Fowler's signature. It should have had Douglas Dillon's".

Next it has the full face view of the eyes previously, the lady asking "Is he bluffing?". Then it shows the man who had the three Kings, a worried look on his face, and he is thinking "Does he really have them?". In the last row of pictures it has a view of the table and the man with the Kings is sitting there, and he says to himself, "Can't chance it. Fold".
