Johnson Smith Catalog Item #1
[Click to enlarge]
Starting a new series: weird stuff from famed seller of novelties Johnson Smith.
I will be extracting from two catalogs: one from an indeterminate year of the 1930s, and one from the year 1950.
This entry, from the 1930s.

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.
