Margie Grant And Her Talented Girls Modeled Bras By Day… And Played At Love With The Buying Executives By Night!

A Behind-The-Scenes Novel Of The Undergarment Industry, Revealing What Buying Executives Expect And Demand Of The Models Who Travel The Country Doing Fashion Shows To Peddle Their Wages!

Can’t make out the signature.

From the back:

Margie Grant and her girls were the attractive darlings of a traveling style show, boasting proud bodies that made men hungry. Although clothed in the respectability of legitimate business, they never failed to excite the animal passions in men buyers.
Barnstorming the buying centers of the nation Margie knew that a glimpse of tempting, half-hidden charms enticed men to look for more than value in lingerie. She’d learned that showing off undergarments in public could raise a buyer’s interest… but taking them off in private was what he really was after.
Trading Fervor For Favor And Adventure For Advancement, Margie Fought Her Way To The Top, Using Her Beauty And Basic Knowledge Of Men For All They Were Worth.
But then matters came to a head. She encouraged playboy department store heir Mike Helmhurst to offer her the burning fire of his passion which she mistook for love. Meanwhile she kept crossing paths with her former lover, Dan Kent, a traveling aeronautics inspector whose job took him, too, on an endless tour of the country. From the beginning of their affair, Margie battled her desperate need for his tempestuous love… although she knew he already had a wife.
And always waiting in the shadows, was the boss who put her in charge of the fashion group, and who expected her in return to become his mistress.

One thought on “The Near-Nudes”

  1. You know, the signature to me looks like Bob Schinella. Schinella did several other covers for Beacon around this time, and this cover is stylistically consistent with those other images.
