Title: LOOK: A 1912 Breast Enlargement Ad
Post by: HuffingtonPost on May 17, 2013, 07:30 PM
One Georgian lady has the answer to increasing your bust -- by six inches in 30 days, apparently.

A page from the April 14, 1912 issue of the Washington Post, posted on the Ye Olde News Tumblr (http://yeoldenews.tumblr.com/post/50510921301/ads-for-weight-loss-bust-enlargement-hair) and unearthed by BuzzFeed, shows a lengthy ad for a mysterious breast-enlargement process -- as well as one for hair removal through electrolysis.

We wonder how many women wrote to the poster, asking for her secret?
