Ladies, there are many reasons your husband might cheat on you, or worse, leave. For example, you might make crappy coffee. Or drink the wrong soda. Or maybe he wakes up one day and realizes that your face is gross.

Never fear, Beauty in the Morning is here!

Ladies, can you imagine living a life without a man? That's right. You can't afford not to read the transcript after the jump.
Take a look in your morning mirror. See the memory your husband carries with him day after day. Is it a magnet alluring enough to draw him right home night after night? Or do you spend your afternoons dreading that hated phone call "I won't be home tonight."
Men can't be expected to remember what their wives look like past the last time they saw them in the morning! And believe me, ladies, if you think it's your fun personality and great cooking and emotional support that keeps him coming home night after night, you are sadly mistaken. It is the beauty of your face, and only your face, that manages to hold the tenuous strings of your relationship together.

Try Beauty in the Morning. Use it faithfully. You will notice a flattering change almost immediately--no long wait for results.

Beauty in the Morning is so much more than a soap. It's a complete all-in-one facial treatment--a new idea, created after years of research by a group of chemists and beauty experts. It uniquely combines the costly ingredients they finally chose as the finest safeguard for your complexion.

If you think this bar of soap is just a bar of soap, you are wrong. For it has costly ingredients.

Beauty in the Morning helps correct skin dryness that makes three out of four women unhappy. It helps remove the reasons for too oily skin. It hygienically and thoroughly cleans your skin, leaving it protected by a soothing film--tingling with a new aliveness that you feel at once.
Women aren't unhappy because they're being told its their ugly fault their marriages are falling apart--they're unhappy because their skin is oily.

Get Beauty in the Morning today. Put it to work doing wonderful things for your skin. It's easy, so very easy to bring back the look he loves.
Until, I suspect, one finds a need for Beauty in the Night. Wait, that's when its dark. Can men see in the dark? I don't know. I am a lady.

I have to say that more than anything else, it's advertisements that clearly illustrate the state of racism and sexism in a culture. Anyone who claims that the 50s and 60s "weren't that bad" for women and minorities simply needs to look at ads like this for clarity.

It makes me wonder what ads from our generation our grandkids will look back and shake their head at. I think Sarah Haskins has pointed out quite a few. But I sort of cringe at having that spotlight shone on us a few decades from now.

We CAN see in the dark as well as look like a chiseled piece of art from Michelangelo in the morning. That is why we do not need any product to make you remember who is coming home to you (maybe) at the end of the day. Women can as much be tempted by the pool boy as they can pee standing up. Only men have wandering eyes, i think it is on the same gene as the night vision.
