It looks like the Blair company was a subdivision of Chap Stick and they made this great perfume “Here’s Love”. How do I know it is great? They sold it for two-bits in the back of a comic. That’s how.
Another fool-proof money-making scheme, getting rich by selling (in theory, anyway) incredibly awful products. This is a wonderful ad, and I especially love that it was in a comic book. Aiming high, I see!
