"Moon Maid" Ad




What looked like a sort of rival Moon Maid in what must have been the same general period appeared in an advertising campaign for a line of men's clothing



.




In the ad itself, she is called both "The Hardwick Maid"


 
 
 
And a "Moon-Maid".
 
 
 
 

Previous Hardwick ads had used the term "Hardwick Knight" ( otherwise without much of an indication of knighthood* ), and "Hardwick Maid".








So the "Moon Maid" angle was a variation of their exsisting ad campaign.


*And I think the idea was that the "Knight" was supposed to be like the character of John Steed on the television program THE AVENGERS.
