Our lady readers will be interested to
know something concerning the great
sales of Santa Claus Soap. The manu-
facturers, n. X Fairbank & Co., are
Justly entitled to rank among the great
advertisers of the United States. and
are counted among the most liberal
patrons of printers ink in this country.
The Fairbank Company is particularly
friendly to newspapers rs Offering the
most legitimate means of advertising,
and naturally all newspapers are friend
ly to Santa Claus Soap.
1t cannot be SAID, as in the case of
some advertisers, that Fairbank has
made Santa Claus famous, but it does
seem correct to say that Santa Claus
has made Fairbank famous.
Santa Claus has been of course. for
time out of mind, household word. 1t
was a happy thought when the Fairbank
Company seized upon this home-like
and familiar name for their very best
laundry soap.
Naturally enough the quality of the
soap has had much to do with its sue
cess. for not oven the most extravaganza
advertising could make a success Of a
poor article. On the other band there
have been SO many poor soaps put upon
the market the past few years, that in
the beginning many purchasers hesltat-
ed to try another new candidate for
favor at the wash-tub.
Fairbank & Co. are live, wide-awake
business men, and they knew just how
good housekeepers felt on the SOAP
question. So they not only set about to
manufacture the very best soap that
could be made, but they inaugurated u
most earnest and honest system of ad-
vertising. No "fakes'' or schemes
have been employed to introduce
.'Santa Claus Soap on the market.
The brand was brought into notice by
straightforward and legitimate methods
and has constantly gained in public
favor because of the excellence of the
article itself. The manufacturers can
congratulate themselves upon such a
success. We are informed that the
sales of Santa Claus Soap have increas-
ed enormously this year, and far above
the average rate. No doubt a great
share of the increase in this neighbour
hood is due to the fact that Santa Claus
Soap has been well advertised in these
columns.
