Evon Nollette, Woman's Page Editor of the Minneapolis Times-Tribune, reported a visit from G. Gaston Johnston '3B in one of her April columns. Mr. Johnston, who in her eyes is a "combination of Tyrone Power and Charles Boyer" and fair prey for movie scouts, lays his present success at the door of the Hanover aunt with whom he lived while a student at Dartmouth.
Relaxing with her head resting on the back of the bath tub, the paper reports, was his aunt's idea of a satisfactory bath. Headaches resulted, however, until Mr. Johnston came to her rescue with a homemade bathpillow. While bicycling in Europe after graduation, dread of a conventional job jolted him into creation. Back home in Seattle a "suave looking pneumatic waterproof pillow with pressure suctions to cling easily to the back of a bath tub" was devised. Now, the story goes, he's selling them like hot cakes. In colors to harmonize with your "salon de bain."
