"The Fuller Man... will tell you just how to use it to make you happy...."

That'll cure your hysteria, woman!

I love the "For personal use, too" at the bottom. "In case you hadn't gotten this idea yourself yet, let us clue you in..."

I think the copy writer was having a miserable day. Yes.

I think so, too. The whole thing really seems to have a snarky tone. I hope he felt better after a shower because, geez!

So whether you work in an office, are out fishing, working in the garden, playing golf, or conducting a train, whatever you're doing, the Fuller Brush Man will come to your home to give your wife a good, honest soap scrub and fairly making her flesh say, "Thank you!" She'll be full of smiles and pep when you get home. You tell her you know she's fooling around. She panics and says that she's been seeing the weather man, which is why you want to kill him. You hate the human race so you grab the portable shower and go live in a tent in the woods where you will plot your revenge.
