Did this type of advice work in the 40s?
I found an interesting magazine ad from the 40s for Pond's Complexion Care products. It offered advice to women on putting him in the mood for matrimony! My favorite is:WRONG to get huffy or possessive when he smiles at another female. You have to give a man some rope, or what's he going to hang himself with?
RIGHT to make mighty sure that no other girl can make you look faded! That's where your complexion casts the deciding vote. When he looks at you, let him see a complexion that radiated the loving care you give it with Pond's every night. The Other Woman menace will vanish in limbo.
Do you think the modern woman of the 40s bought into this hype or simply viewed it as humorous entertainment?

The Story Of Pearl Culture
We are lucky to live in the 21st century - for this is the age when the largest and most beautiful pearls in human history are cultivated.
The history of cultured pearls in fairly young, slightly more than 100 years old.But it is fascinating history shaped by three generations devoting to and working towards an ideal of the perfect pearl, working in humility and harmony with the unpredictable forces of nature.
It all started in the 19th century, when the greedy fishing of pearl oysters for natural pearls led to the near depletion and scarcity of natural pearls. To meet the insatiable quest for more, ever bigger and ever rounder pearls, ingenious people observed the formation of natural pearls and attempted to copy the process of nature. A series of experiments were conducted in various parts of the world, but the consensus is that the first round pearls were successfully harvested in 1898 in Japan.
The History and Collecting of Snuff Bottles
The History and Collecting of Snuff Bottles by April Kerr
During the reign of the Qing dynasty of China smoking tobacco was prohibited and considered illegal. However the Chinese used the powdered form as a snuff for curing common ailments like cough, cold, headaches and stomach problems. Snuff was carried in small bottles as a medicine and is the same as the snuff box that was used by the Europeans. Later the use of snuff and snuff bottles was popularized by the elite class and it became a social norm to use snuff. Gradually the use of snuff spread to the remaining classes as well and greeting relatives and friends with a pinch of snuff became a common practice.
