CLARA: “I have had a most refreshing bath. The IVORY SOAP is, without exception, the most luxurious soap for bathing. It lathers freely and is so easily rinsed off, leaving a sense of comfort and cleanliness such as no other soap will.”

LOUISE: “Yes, and isn’t it nice to use soap that floats like the IVORY; for if you drop it, you don’t have to feel for it, but pick it off the top of the water.”

A WORD OF WARNING.

=There are many white soaps, each represented to be
“just as good as the ‘Ivory’;” they =ARE NOT=, but like
all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable
qualities of the genuine. Ask for “Ivory” Soap and
