Mid-century Magazine Ads from the Spring Cotton Mills
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Recently while handling family papers collected by my grandmother in North Carolina, I came across a packet of color magazine ads from Springs Cotton Mills. Looking back, she used this material as inspiration for a party costume many years ago. But now I see its potential significance in the history of advertising and the movement toward social justice. The set of four advertisements is now cataloged as The Elliott Springs Touch at Hagley. Springmaid girls adorn the sport shirt of Elliott White Springs.
