Happiest Girl in Texas Ad Promotes California Fig Syrup
A vintage advertisement touts California Fig Syrup as a natural laxative aid for children. It cites mothers over fifty years using the product to ease constipation, improve color, and boost energy, with a Texas mother sharing her two year old’s quick recovery and neighbors calling the child the happiest in Texas. The copy warns to seek the genuine product marked California on the carton.
