Most of this advertisment is taken up by woman with short blond hair and long eyelashes posing with her hands in an X by her neck to show off her red nail polish. The text under her hands advertises the brand name Durlin claiming that the brand is the foremost name in bulk nail polish.

[transcription]

Durlin:The Foremost Name In Bulk Nail Polish. First in new product development. First in development of suspension formulas. First in quality and fashion.
Durlin Company, 744 Broad ST., Newark, N.J. 07102
Cable: Durlin, Newark, N.J. Telex #138556

[additional notes]

One thing that intitally stood out to me about this advertisment is that unlike some of the other advertisments this one is advertising a specific cosmetic product for a specific use (nail polish). I also noticed that one thing that isn’t mentioned in this advertisment is the type of ingredients used in the nail polish. I am also curious about what/if there were any government guidlines about the types of ingredients that could be in nail polish.
