This product, which prevented grey hair and added to the overall beauty of one's hair, was endorsed or associated with a married woman. This heightened the credibility of the product, as something made or used by a proper Victorian woman, although it was marketed to both genders. The language in the ad, with words like "gentle," evokes angel in the house imagery alongside Mrs. Allen's name. Assuming this product is actually made by a woman, it illustrates a shift into the public sphere, although the strength of this appearance out of the private sphere is severely undercut by the remaining tie to the domestic reputation of the manufacturer.
