This is one of several different BRECK Advertising information sheets.  from the 1940's but undated.  this was sent or given to the store, to inform the owner about the product and sometimes show the cost to the consumer vs the cost to the store owner.  very cool and SCARCE. so i am listing them all separately.  a few have 3 hole punch holes on one side, assumable those few were in a binder at one time, but most dont have that,  i also have a few larger Posters of similar BRECK products. clean with light edge wear and a few some edge tears which would be covered if framed.

NOTE: THE SCALE BEHIND THE ITEM IS IN INCHES.s o you can see the size.

Breck Shampoo is an American brand of shampoo that is also known for its Breck Girls advertising campaign.

In 1930 Dr. John H. Breck, Sr. (June 5, 1877 – February 1965) of Springfield, Massachusetts, founded Breck Shampoo. Advertising that "every woman is different," by the 1950s, the shampoo was available in three expressions, color-coded for easy identity:^[1]

• D (red label) "For Dry Hair"
• O (yellow label) "For Oily Hair"
• N (blue label) "For Normal Hair"

In 1936, son Edward J. Breck (1907 - 1993) assumed management of Breck Shampoo and hired commercial artist Charles Gates Sheldon (1889 – 1961) to draw women for their advertisements. Sheldon's early portraits for Breck were done in pastels, with a soft focus and halos of light and color surrounding them. He created romantic images of feminine beauty and purity. He preferred to draw "real women" as opposed to professional models.

In 1957 Ralph William Williams succeeded Sheldon as the Breck artist. Unlike Sheldon, he often used professional women. Breck advertisements ran regularly in magazines such as Ladies Home Journal, Woman's Home Companion, Seventeen, Vogue, Glamour, and Harper's Bazaar. They were most often on the back cover of the magazine. During these years, Breck Girls were identified through the company's sponsorship of America's Junior Miss contests. After Williams' death in 1976, the advertising tradition stopped.

In 1963, Breck was sold to Shulton Division of American Cyanamid, a chemical company based in New Jersey.

In 1990, Breck was sold to the Dial Corporation. Martin Himmel Inc. acquired Breck in 2001, which unveiled the "Breck is Back!" campaign.

In 2006, Breck was acquired by Dollar Tree of Chesapeake, Virginia. It continues to sell the variety of shampoos, plus moisturizing body washes and bubble baths in a variety of fragrances, such as "Lavender Lily" (2006) and "Vanilla Melon" (2007).

The Breck Girls ads are now in the advertising history records in the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
