HANKY PANKY
From the innovative folks who brought you the CID Saw Cap and the Astronomical Interference Detection System...NOW comes our newest product: HANKY PANKY. The idea itself is as old as the hills, but with our new advertising twist and updated sartorial touch we believe we have the most marketable and profitable idea yet.
HANKY PANKY is a partial man's handkerchief that is carefully stitched to a piece of printed (your advertising) cardboard. The cardboard extends to the bottom of the breast pocket of your suit or sport coat. It looks exactly like a well-folded pocket handkerchief. There is a perforated line near the top of the cardboard to allow the customer to remove the bottom portion for coats with false pockets. HANKY PANKY will give customers a sharp appearance at all times. No need to bother washing, starching, ironing and folding a handkerchief...get HANKY PANKY. Easy to throw into an overnight bag. Inexpensive enough to be given away as publicity items, but are FIRST RATE in their appearance. A CID 4-pack is available - includes Red, White, Yellow and Blue.
Be sure to include sample of copy desired for advertising ( 2" x 3" max) and allow six weeks for printing and delivery. ONLY $ 150.00 / gross!
