I think besides the #22 the #26 is a very close second in coolness factor!! I love the white covers and with the Stars and Stripes and the awesome dramatic bloody bird battle it's hard to top it's appeal imo

Odd that they were targeting laundries to use comics in a promotion. Or am I misunderstanding what that variant is?

that is strange!! So when I first read that I thought it meant place the name of your Laundromat here and sell it in the self service center in a rack or something. That would give the customers something to do while they were waiting for the clothes to be washed and dried. Then I looked up Laundromats and wiki says the first coin operated one is believed to have opened was Freedom Laundromat in Philadelphia around 1947 so even though this book is no date I would imagine it predates that? I did learn that in England they are considered Launderettes but didn't arrive until the 50s. However, in Texas and the like they had Wash-a-terias, which were like Laundromats and opened as early as 1936 so they very easily could have been sold there?

I could be way off base here and maybe they just meant the Laundry detergent name who knows? Any ideas on this one?

[G.A.tor]

I believe it was intended to be included with a box of laundry soap...

 

I will look at back cover image and report

Maybe to be given away as advertising or calling card at a dry cleaners.
