stand-up color lithographed store advertising counter-top display on heavy mill board, with cut-out side margins. The mercantile store display would've been displayed in pharmacies, grocers and local 5 and dimes, advertising this chocolate laxative produced by the

'Ex-Lax.'
Considering this piece of vintage ephemera is now near, if not
100 years old,
it would have to be considered, even with the small amount of surface disruption, to be in pretty good shape. The graphic iconography consists of a smiling young woman with a period flapper girl soft hat and robed, flowing dress, no doubt 'relieved' by the success of the advertised product, now feeling young, energetic and seemingly completely rejuvenated. Remarkably, the signage isn't plagued with unsightly stains or depreciating corner folds. The rear fold-out stand is present and intact. A great
