An advertisement for Kolynos Dental Cream, headed "Spotlight on Service," builds its pitch around a Land Army woman rather than the product alone. During the Second World War, many advertisers tied everyday goods to the war effort, presenting women who took farm work in place of men called to service as models to admire. Toothpaste was often sold as part of staying fit for hard, demanding work. The piece shows how a brand could borrow the prestige of national service to reach women who were now working long hours outdoors.
