                                      oldest Dr. White's advert I have
                                      (from "She" magazine, date at a
                                      guess mid-late 60's). This was the
                                      first
                                        plastic package design
                                      they used, replacing a plain
                                      grey/blue cardboad box. The towels
                                      (napkins) were the same, still
                                      based on the original Southall
                                        commercial sanitary towel
                                      which was a
                                        field wound dressing with a
                                        paper/tissue center core with
                                        loops attached [just as
                                      Kotex developed from WWI bandages].
                                      Prior to this pack design there
                                      had been four sizes of towels, 0
                                      to 3, but I never saw the size 0
                                      (junior) after the change over. In
                                      the mid 80's the size 1 and 2
                                      towels were changed to the design
                                      still available to-day, the size
                                      3, "maternity use", was unchanged
                                      until dropped a few years ago.'
