Description
Advertising material for Kerol disinfectant. Tagline reads "The Real Disinfectant." Text is titled "Disinfection is a domestic duty" and contains an explaination of the importance of disinfection, warning that "only the foolish or thoughless forget this golden rule." The advertisment is indicative of contemporary attitudes toward science, stating that "the verdict of science cannot be questioned, the results cannot be doubted." In the image, women contentedly carry out household chores with the aid of Kerol.
