I believe it was from about 1918 or thereabouts.

Beautiful ad! I wonder if it smelled like "cocoanut." I also wonder when people started adding an "e" to "mulsified."

mulsify was never a word...very strange.

Maybe it's one of those possum/opossum things.

As far as that goes, why did they drop the "a" from "cocoanut," but I suspect it may have been to distinguish it from cocoa.

Gorgeous ad, and coconut oil really does make your hair softer and healthier. I use it all the time.

Veddy niiiiiice. It diminishes the delicacy of the general effect when I imagine her clunking around the room in those heels. The copy is nicely direct and to the purpose...instead of the sort of floaty over-wrought conjurings I'd expect to see accompanying such a visual in the period.

Dratted split ends! Seriously, that's a lot of hair. And the outfit.. it looks like she's wearing leggings, those wrinkles at the knee..or is it hose? Nice ad though.
