Violetta Violet Rays Advertising Ephemera
- Chicago, Illinois: Bleadon-Dun Co
Chicago, Illinois: Bleadon-Dun Co. Very good. Light toning and dust soiling.. Advertising ephemera promoting "Violetta Violet Rays for Health Vitality and Beauty", a light-emitting device with different attachments. For modern viewers, it resembles a kind of hybrid of Gua Sha and LED light therapy, two beauty treatment practices popular with today's beauty influencers on TikTok (a nice example of how companies have been, are, and always will market questionable products to women seeking the fountain of youth). The "Violetta" was also marketed in some sources to families with babies in need of Vitamin D. There are three items here, including: a sales pitch letter printed on company letterhead promoting the product in wholesale to retailers (10.75" by 8.5"; a loose flyer advertising two of the company's products with illustrations, pricing, and model numbers (6.25" by 3.5"); and an illustrated folding pamphlet outlining the "Violetta", its different attachments and models (6.25" by 3" folded).
