- – A 1943 advertising poster for Dr. West's Miracle-Tuft toothbrushes. The advertisement shows an elegant woman wearing a feathered bathrobe that reveals her shoulders while holding a toothbrush. Also shown is a military communications operator. DuPont toothbrushes were a part of every soldier's basic supplies during World War II, a fact that was often reflected in their advertisements. Dr West's toothbrushes, a brand name created by DuPont, were the first toothbrushes to use Nylon Fibers for bristles after Wallace Hume Carruthes, a Dupont scientist, invented Nylon in 1937.
