"... think about stories that you tell and the stories that others tell about you. It may help to think in terms of general categories ... Age ... Location ... How was your room decorated?" —Dan Allender, To Be Told Workbook pg 10 When I began kindergarten we lived in a pretty house with a playhouse under the tall pine trees in the back yard. My sister and I had our own bedrooms, upstairs. Our closets held secret doors that connected us. I hear giggles of little girls crawling through a secret passageway. Northern Tissue Girls "American Beauties" hung in our bedrooms. I see my younger sister in the baby and the blond. I see myself in the brunets, especially the one with the kitten because she has brown eyes.

"American Beauty" is white. The pretty little house with the playhouse under the pines. An illusion. A gauzy cocoon of pasteled falsehood. Brokenness quietly perpetuating a monochromatic and exclusionary world.

Vintage advertisement from the Saturday Evening Post from the early 1960’s promoting Northern Toilet Tissue manufactured by the American Can Company. The ad features a large, color illustration of the “Mist Aqua Girl” by Frances Hook. Ms. Hook was an accomplished graphic artist who was known for her pastel drawings of kids and animals. When Northern began printing Ms. Hook’s art on their packaging they saw their sales increase exponentially. Thousands of customers sent in their quarters to Northern Tissue to receive the full size print. The “Four Girls” and “All-American Boys” series of prints were staples in the décor of home bathrooms and children bedrooms for years. Ms. Hook is probably most famous for illustrating The Children’s Living Bible with her husband Richard. Size: 11" x 14" Advertisement is 60+ years old and has aged well. It has a great retro feel with bright colors that will look good in a variety of places in the home. This is an original paper advertisement from removed from a vintage magazine. The advertisement is mounted on acid-free material with a custom black border and ready for display in your favorite 11x14 frame. Vintage advertising is owning a piece of history. It lends insight not only into the fashion, architecture, and design trends of the time, but also the social attitudes, many of which were influenced by the advertising of the period. It is also a great entry-level path to collecting antiques. I may not be able to afford a set of mid-century modern table and chairs, but I can place some vintage advertisements on my walls and instantly give any room a retro vibe without busting my budget. The advertisement will be poly-bagged and shipped via USPS in a padded envelope with rigid inserts. I have many additional advertisements that are not listed. If you are looking for something specific or additional copies, please ask.

Christ with Child - Picture Art Print by Frances Hook Artist Frances Hook has been called "the Berta Hummel of America" for her ability to capture the emotions and expressions of youngsters in everyday situations. Born in Ambler, Pennsylvania, Frances' artistic talents at an early age led to a scholarship to the Pennsylvania Museum School of Art. Following graduation Frances embarked on a highly successful commercial art career. The most well-known creations from her early career were the adorable children she created for Northern Tissue in the late 1950's and early 1960's. As the demand for commercial art waned with the growth of television, Frances focused her attention on the inspirational market. The sensitivity with which she portrayed children received wide acclaim from the religious publishers of the day. Her portrait of Christ entitled The Carpenter started out as a simple chalk drawing on brown wrapping paper, has been referred to as the definitive portrait of Christ created in this century. This is a 1970 vintage religious artwork in Mint condition. The picture depicts a warm, gentle, smiling and accessible image of Christ doting on a child. The picture is 8" wide x 10" tall and printed on medium weight cardstock with satin finish. The verso is plain. The artwork will be a nice addition to your collection of devotional prints. It is ready to frame and can be mounted in a traditional way with glass. It can be displayed in a Bible school classroom, school library, child's room or in your sacred space as meditation aid. Our Lady's Mantle watermark shown on image is not on the actual print. ●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●✿●●✿●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬●✿●●✿●▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬● Your items will be carefully packaged and shipped within 1 business day from Illinois, USA.

This is a wonderful complete set of Northern Tissue prints. There are four prints, each of which feature a beautiful illustration of a little girl. There is a girl in blue holding a kitten, a girl in winter white, a baby girl in a pink blanket, and a little girl with a bouquet of dandilions. The set of prints are in their original paper envelope. These prints were an old mail order premium from the Northern Tissue Company. "Northern tissue is made with fluff - Nothing else is soft enough. Soft as my blanket, soft as me that's how soft softness can be." In 1958 Frances Hook's American Beauties began to appear in Northern Tissue advertisements. On March 23, 1959, the first rolls of tissue featuring the girls are shipped from the mill. The American Beauties, the brand's first "Northern Girls," sent tissue sales skyrocketing. Offers for prints of the girls and Northern's "All American Boys" broke records with 30 million sets of prints being sold by 1966. The prints measure 11" (27.9 cm) by 14" (35.6 cm) and is in great condition. There is one small bend in the corner of the blonde girl with dandilions print. This great set could easily be framed and enjoyed as a wonderful addition to any collection.
