Follies of the Mad Men #142
1) Brenda Vaccaro is scary and threatening.
2) Not a mother, but will have her say anyhow.
3) Plastic better than cardboard?
4) Giant swimming pool = all the embarrassing flood dangers women risk if wrong tampon is chosen.

Follies of the Mad Men #139
[From Life magazine for October 18 1948.]
Leave it to rich people to shrink down their servants and stuff them like genies into bottles! Note cute name of bartender: "Hugh Bline" = Heublein.
