The grinning clown face featured on the towel is known as "Tillie":

The name Tillie is a nod to George C. Tilyou, the owner of Steeplechase Park in Coney Island, NY.   The park included a mechanical horse race course from which it derived its name.
A similar grinning face was featured on Steeplechase Park signage;   it immediately became the resorts biggest attraction.
