“The amazing new radiant creme shampoo!”

These ads for Prell dandruff shampoo (owned by Proctor & Gamble) date from 1947-49.

Ads from 1947 had a pink background and a lustrous-haired loving couple dressed for a night out.

“Removes dandruff in as little as three minutes!”

The design changed in late 1947 into 1948, with less formally dressed couples.

“From Atlantic to Pacific folks are saying Prell’s terrific!”

By 1949 the couples were dressed for an evening out again.
