Early Bromo-Selzer World’s Fair Flip Book with Hula Dancer and Man with Headache! ministers box wonderfully sincereThis flip book dates to 1939, made for the New York Wolds Fair as an advertising giveaway for Bromo Selzer, a headache cure. In one direction, a very unhappy looking man transforms into a widely smiling one, having a lightbulb moment midway through that leads to a good swig of the the liquid. In the other direction, just the pure pleasure of a hula dancer in grass skirt between two palm trees dancing away. Pretty classic, and pretty fun! 2 1 2 x 1 7
