Description |
Rectangle-shaped paper stick fan. The front is a full-color illustration of a green female fairy accompanied by two young male assistants. She paints a butterfly in many colors; this is an advertisement for Putnam Fadeless Dyes and Tints. The reverse provides information various Putnam brand products, including "no-kolor" bleach, bath-bloom foam, dyes, tints, dry cleaner, and lighter fluid. The Putnam Company was located in Quincy, Illinois, but this fan is an advertisement for the Lane Drug Compnay in Omaha, which presumably sold Putnam products. |
