Putnam Fadeless Dyes-Tints (1930s)
-
People seem to like these, so here is another! I don't know if this is Mucha. It's possible, but the poster dates to the 1930s, and Mucha died in 1939 and was both ailing, and occupied with making art to resist the Nazi threats toward Czechoslovakia, so it's possible this is someone else working in the same style.
The dyes were a product of the Monroe Chemical Company in Quincy, MO, which was named after Putnam County, where the company was founded in 1876 by Edward Nelson Monroe. The company went bankrupt in 1976.
Here is a box of their dyes, some dye packets, and for you hardcore history nerds, an entire scanned version of their instruction booklet!

That packaging is so attractive, look at that typography, especially for the word "Mulberry", does the soul good.

I am intrigued by the ones that promise they are perfumed.
Did that just make dyed clothes smell good for a while? Did it fade totally away after a wash cycle or two?
