This is a vintage advertisement for a "Spring Cleaning Sale" featuring Johnson's wax polishes. The image is a black and white photograph of a shop window display.

Here's a breakdown:

  • Overall Composition: The display is well-organized, with different products of Johnson's polish. The use of props like a display that looks like a ladder, and the angle, guides the viewer's eye.

  • Product Display: The display mainly showcases Johnson's floor wax products, including "Gloo-Coat," and furniture polish. The products are arranged on several shelves and platforms.

  • Text and Branding: Prominent signage announces the "Spring Cleaning SALE" and mentions "Specials on Johnson's Wax Polishes". Price tags of "39" and "59" are visible on the products. The name "Johnson" is clearly visible on the products.

  • Other Details: The display also announces a floor wax demonstration, which adds to the promotional aspect of the sale. There is also a mention of the brand "Kleen Floor" and the products are displayed on different heights.

  • Overall Aesthetic: The use of black and white photography and the product packaging evoke a sense of nostalgia. The display is a clear representation of marketing strategies used during the mid-20th century.

The image shows a black-and-white photograph of a store window display, likely from the mid-20th century. The display advertises "Spring Cleaning Sale" items from Johnson's wax polishes.

Dominating the top of the display are several prominent signs. On the left and right are signs for "Spring Cleaning SALE" featuring Johnson's Furniture Polish for 39 cents and Johnson's Glo-Coat Floor Polish for 59 cents. Centrally, a larger sign announces "SPRING Cleaning SALE, SPECIALS ON JOHNSON'S WAX POLISHES."

Below the signs, the display showcases a variety of Johnson's products, including Glo-Coat Floor Polish, Paste Wax, Dance Wax, and Kleen Floor Duster. The products are arranged at varying heights on display stands, creating depth. Broom handles lean diagonally in the display.

A sign in the center highlights a "DEMONSTRATION" of Johnson's Floor Wax starting on Thursday, April 11, with Miss L.E. Gaudreau, a factory representative, in charge.

White curtains are used as a backdrop behind the display. The overall composition is designed to attract customers with sale prices and the promise of spring cleaning solutions.
