Quote:

Today's most fashionable wedding present What more could you, or any young couple ask?

Comments:

This young, fashionable couple is shown unwrapping their wedding presents together. They have received quite a few swanky gifts so far, from a cocktail mixer to a watering can and some framed cat illustrations. They are the couple who already has everything, except for “the Ronson Wedgwood lighter for the home.” The man immediately unwraps the lighter and lights the woman’s cigarette, balanced in her elegant cigarette holder. (Nothing is said about the lighter fuel which clearly did not come in the little wrapped box.) “What more could you, or any young couple ask?” the copy text questions, indicating that the advertisement is targeting a younger audience.

Keywords:

Cool, Domesticity, Female, Marriage, Mild
