Wireman above "A Suggestion to Mothers." Reads: "Let Margaret bathe, "all by her-/ self", every day in the week, except/ Saturday; but on Saturday, take her hand yourself./ Satisfy yourself that she is as clean as IvorySoap and warm water/ can make her. Brush her hair./ Shampoo it if necessary. Rub her/ scalp- to stimulate the follicles from/ which the hair grows. Examine/ her teeth, her ears, eyes, nose, fing-/ ers and nails. In other words, see/ that she is clean and sweet from the / crown of her head to the soles of/ her feet. / Ivory Soap will help you keep/ her in that condition. For bath-/ ing her little body and for sham-/ pooing her hair, you can use it / with the knowledge that it is the / safest soap you can buy. It is mild. It is pure. It contains no "free"/ alkali - no injurious ingredient of/ any kind." Printed at the poster bottom: "Ivory Soap ......99 44/100 Per Cent. Pure. " Sketched in each bottom corner are two child's shoes. The picture of mother and child is presented in front of a curtain on two posts creating the side borders. |
