Kotex "Are you in the know?"
booklet for menstrual napkins,
1956, U.S.A.
For years copywriters for Kotex
produced Are
you in the know? advertisements
for teenage American girls. This
booklet - below are the cover and
two interior pages - is a
compilation of these ads published
by Kimberly-Clark in 1956. There
are only
Caucasians in these ads,
and the advice they give, and the
dress of the people, suggest at
least an upper-middle
class audience. Times
have certainly changed! See a more
complete discussion
elsewhere.
