Permission
(Reusing this file)
English: Under US copyright law prior to 1964, advertisements in periodicals would need to include their own valid copyright notice, separate from any copyright notice for the periodical as a whole, in order to establish copyright protection. Advertisement bore valid copyright notices like "© 1929, the A. J. Co. [Andrew Jergens Company]". However, no copyright renewal was made on any of these ads, so any copyright protection in the ads—and in the photos published within them, including this one—thereby expired on January 1, 1958, after the initial 28-year copyright term. See UPenn.edu's guide to copyright registrations and renewals for 1957.

Licensing

This file is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
Public domain
This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published (or registered with the U.S. Copyright Office) before January 1, 1930.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
