Rayette Dandruff Lotion Barber Pole Advertising Sign

ADVERTISING SIGN, a nice reprint advertisement sign. A barber pole with a bottle of lotion on it and a hole at the top for hanging. It is a heavy stock paper and reads "It Pays To Look Well" and "Rayette GDT Dandruff Lotion". It measures 18 1/2 inches tall and 4 3/4 inches wide. The modern barber pole originated in the days when bloodletting was one of the principal duties of the barber.  The two spiral ribbons painted around the pole represent the two long bandages, one twisted around the arm before bleeding, and the other used to bind the wound afterward.
