A little OT - but I LOVE 8 Hr Cream! I am not sure if they are still doing it, but they released a while ago, the stuff back in the original jar! Loves it!

Funny, I have old ads for Cutex dated in the 1930s. I think the 1960 date is wrong.

There was Richard Hudnut's DuBarry line, he's credited with creating the first at home permanent wave, and was Natacha Rambova's step-father.
