Gypsy Creams
Oh-oh!
Men Only / September 1951
I presume the woman embarrassing this young man is his wife, and that we have an early dandruff remedy being marketed here. After the many adverts humiliating women that I’ve seen for this site, it’s interesting to see an advert doing the same to a man.

It’s interesting that a lot of old adverts that play to male insecurity are about hair, especially baldness, there seems to have been a greater worry about that fifty odd years ago.
These days there seems to be more of an emphasis on physique and especially toned, flat stomachs.
