Gold Dust Twins. Atlanta GA, Aug 18.
[The dropped-jaw moment of the day. Lever Brothers featured Goldie and Dustie in their tutus well into the 1950s, but I suspect this ad was painted much earlier. The building that hid it was torn down several years ago, but I never noticed the Twins until yesterday.]
