Before and After advertising cards

By at 1:33 am Monday, Jun 7

Great gallery of vintage "Before and After" advertising cards:
Rheumatic, lank, dyspeptic, lean;
The bad effects are plainly seen,
On those who do themselves the wrong,
Of buying any brand that comes along.
But happy though, the daily life,
Of the bright, contented, plump, housewife,
And happy all who take her stand
To buy the Arm & Hammer Brand.
