Below:
from Syracuse Herald, Sept. 25,
1911. The hard-to-read words under
the top line are "We will pay
$100.00 for a Catchy Phrase to
better advertise and familiarize
[?] The Wonder Remedy of the Day
. . . The Altogether Different
Remedy Which Gives Instantaneous
Relief to Sufferers of . . . ."
I wonder what slogan won.
By the way, a later Midol
DOES contain phenacetin,
which this ad loudly proclaims
this 1911 version doesn't.
