Happiness is a flat tummy!

 

Surfing in Sarong

Womens Weekly, reproduced in The Bulletin (?)

This ad originally appeared in the Australian Women's Weekly in September 9th, 1964, but was very badly reproduced in a general magazine, in a retrospective article. Unfortunately I only have a scan of the poor reproduction.

 

Happiness is a flat tummy!

 

In the early seventies Berlei ran several ads like the second example, apparently designed for the"rent a crowd" set. I imagine they went over like a lead balloon.

[The Sarong girdle was originally designed by the Sarong Corporation in the States. In Australia they were manufactured under license by Berlei, while in Europe they were manufactured by Playtex.]
