From the ad...
Sihouette dips into vocabulary of fashion
for its name and into the spirit of old
English tavern days for its inspiration.
Quaint, jet-black, animated silhouettes
in the Victorian mode are very chic against
the warm yellow ground of our Ivo-Glo.
A table decor equally suitable for the
hospitable home, the smart tea-room, or
the snappy nightclub.
