Zonweiss was a tooth cream sold by Johnson & Johnson, a company then best known for surgical dressings and first-aid supplies, so this advertisement shows the firm moving into the home bathroom. Ads of this kind from the early twentieth century usually framed brushing as a daily duty tied to health, a message that dentists and magazines of the period promoted widely. Worth noticing is how the copy and layout borrow the authority of medicine to sell an everyday household product.
