Abstract:
The Marsay School of Beauty Culture was a cosmetology school that offered at-home training courses and operated out of Chicago, Illinois. The school began advertising in newspapers across the country in 1925. In 1928, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) charged the school with unfair methods of competition. It issued a cease and desist order in 1929, but it appears that the school continued at least into 1930. This is a small collection of correspondence promoting the beauty school's courses between 1926 and 1930. This collection would be useful for researchers interested in cosmetology advertising campaigns and unfair trade practices.
