This was an early publicity effort by businessman Gene Coffman of Gratco Corporation to develop the body paint, Disguise Stix©. As the body paint artist, Sid Boyum collaborated with Gene to promote the product. Gratco Corporation later evolved into Graftobian, a professional make-up company based in Madison, Wisconsin. Graftobian Makeup Kits are still sold at Mallatt's Costume and Pharmacy in Madison. See also Image IDs: 122807, 122808. For a package of Disguise Stix©, see Image ID: 122796. |
