A vintage lithographed tin counter display sign for Kotex sanitary pads, dating to the early 1920s. The front of the display features a three-quarter-length portrait of a woman in a stylized white nurse's uniform and headpiece against a dark grey background. She is depicted holding a blue and white Kotex box. The display is constructed of lithographed metal and features a hinged, fold-out base designed for counter-top placement. Text along the bottom front edge reads CHICAGO, ILL. U.S.A. and is to be used only for Kotex display. The reverse side of the sign is finished in a metallic grey and contains printed instructions titled How to Set Up the KOTEX Counter Display. Below the instructions is a marketing section titled Adopt the famous Kotex ready-wrapped-package plan. Manufacturer information is printed on the lower half, identifying the Kotex Company of Chicago, Illinois, and the Kotex Company of Canada, Ltd. Ownership text at the bottom repeats the message: This Display property of KOTEX COMPANY CHICAGO, ILL. U.S.A. and is to be used only for Kotex display.
