Read more about the START
OF KOTEX: First magazine ad?
January 1921 -
the first Kotex ad
campaign (1921) - a prototype ("To Save Men's Lives
Science Discovered Kotex,") for the
first ad, about 1920 - first newspaper ad?
(1920) and early
newspaper ads - early
newspaper articles about Kotex and
Cellucotton -
ads, 1920s, featuring Kotex spokeswomen,
living and maybe fictional - putting Kotex on the
counter to sell it.
Dr.
Earle Cleveland Haas: It's
interesting that the inventor of Tampax,
Haas, and the
woman who first constructed a company around
it, Gertrude Tenderich, both have German origins -
at least Haas is a German name, which
derives from the word for rabbit. Some of my
German
relatives have that last name. But then the
second largest group of American last names
used to
be German (after those from the British
Isles).
