The Star Made Me Buy It

Today's star is Georgia Carroll for Jewelite toothbrushes*.

Never heard of her?  

Me neither, until I saw the ad.

According to Wikipedia, she was a model, and actress, a singer, and Kay Kyser's wife.  

*The ad copy here is something else:

"Now you can indulge your yen for beautiful Jewelite... aristocrat of plastics! You can revel once more in its sparkling clarity... delight in its delicate jewel-like colors!  Yes, exquisitely lovely Jewelite brushes, combs, and complete dresser sets are now available at all good brush departments..."

Were there really departments just for brushes back then?

Why don't we have sparkly toothbrushes today?  I'd buy one.
