Small Kotex menstrual pad ad, 1920s, U.S.A.
Part of Kotex's popularity was its appeal to travelers, who no longer
had to bring containers for wet pads and supplies to wash them; sometimes
they burned the used pads.
The company made a series of small ads like the above in the 1920s for
newspapers and small magazines.
