This booklet advertised methods of exercise that allegedly enabled a woman to increase the size of her bust. It was published in the 1940s-1950s, when stars such as Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor made fuller figures desirable, unlike the preferred flat-chested silhouette of the 1920s and 1930s.
