Quest menstrual pad deodorant (two ads and can)
The older ad appeared in March 1937 for a
product of International Cellucotton
Products Co., which made Kotex.
Kimberley-Clark, which today makes Kotex,
started that company about 1920 to make
Kotex, apparently because it did not want
menstruation associated with K-C.
A friend of MUM in California gave the can (below the ad)
to this museum. It looks as if it's more
recent than the ad.
The second ad is from an American
magazine, January, 1959.
