Marjorie May's 12th [Twelfth] Birthday (Kotex puberty
& menstruation booklet, Canada, 1935)

Cover and foldout

A 12-year-old girl never looked so flapperesque (drawing, below left)!

(I once saw the word Flapperdom used seriously in the title of a story in a magazine
from the early 1920s. H. L. Mencken, in 1915, when he was the editor of The American Mercury,
supposedly introduced the word flapper to America from England.)

The cover expands with a foldout, below.
A little earlier, in the mid-1930s, a woman in Missouri (U.S.A.) received this booklet, above. Marjorie looks like a 12-year old. And see a 1938 edition.

 

An attached, removable page (right side; see the perforations) folds out from beneath the cover. This removable page is printed on both sides and enlarged, below.
