1963 Towel Love

Plush towel in floral from 1963.

This ad for Martex towels was published in Good Housekeeping November 1963. At first glance, it looks like a fashion ad. Rather, the model is draped with a plush floral towel which sold for $2.00.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's

    I think I can vaguely remember towels with that kind of pattern!

      My parents had a set of “nice towels” like these but we weren’t allowed to use them. Funny.

        I knew a family who weren’t allowed to walk on the middle section of the stair carpet! Guests were allowed but family had to step on the edges so that it wore evenly! They looked pretty odd doing it!
