For women with more exciting things to do than scrub floors (Sep, 1967)
Uh…
For women with more exciting things to do than scrub floors:
ONE-STEP FLOOR CARE
It cleans and waxes at the same time!
New-formula One-Step combines ammonia and detergents for extra cleaning power . . . plus tough wax for a bright, long-lasting shine. Cuts your work in half, saves you time!
By the maker of Armstrong FLOORS
I’ed think getting a decent shot going at speed would be impossible...
I think she’s meant to be a lion tamer.
Although being the late 60′s I’m sure the visual double-entendre was intentional.

The girl is wearing riding clothes; riding boots, breeches, show coat, and bowler. But the whip looks like a Stock Whip

I’d bet a dollar she doesn’t own a horse or a lion.

Yeah, without the whip, life would be rather dull…….

She’s wearing full fox hunting riding dress – the whip is a hunting whip, the hook handle is for holding gates or similar, while the long lash can be used to guide the hounds or used as a lead rope for a riderless horse. Nowadays the bowler hat would not usually be seen outside of a hunter show class at a horse show. Of course, the innuendo about riding and whips etc is the whole point

Thanks for the info on the whip Wandering Pony. I couldn’t place it.

Wandering Pony: Same here, I thought it was a coach whip (by the length) but couldn’t figure out the handle. Good work!

I find it interesting that the floor is blood-red in color.

Floor, I guess you could call it that, I prefer to call my work surface
