Ortho Orthene Paraquat Plus

This week's mug is from Ortho and promotes Orthene, a weed killer by Ortho products.  On the right side of the mug is a drawing of a plant (which I can't/won't identify) above which it says "Pesty Eleven" in a big oval and below it says "ORTHENE GETS 'EM!"  Beside the weed drawing is an oddly shaped dark area.  On the left side of the mug is the same plant, along with another in a different color.  At the top is "ORTHO PARAQUAT/PLUS" and below it says "The Fast-Action Contact Herbicide."


When hot liquid is added to the mug, the area on the right side clears to reveal a list of bugs that the Herbicide also kills on contact. On the right side of the mug, the oddly colored plant disappears and the first plant stays the same.  

The color change is only about half way, but the mug is in great condition.  A good use of the magic ink in advertising as well.
