This vintageFashion Frocks Ad was scanned from an original 1949 Modern Screen magazine. Fashion Frocks was a company from Cincinnati, OH that employed housewives as salespeople to sell clothing to friends and neighbors "door-to-door". They would be armed with sample sales cards for women to order from. It was a way of bypassing the retailers and selling directly to consumers, at better value-pricing. One of the company taglines was "It's fashion-wise to be thrifty." Another version is "Be Fashion-Wise ... Be Thrifty ... Wear Fashion Frocks."
