Ifyou have used Ivory for fine laun-
dry, you have discovered the safe, yet
effective, cleansing ofIvory's richsuds.
Now we suggest that you use it for
dishes, general laundry and house
hold cleaning, because Ivory cleanses
thoroughly, yet saves your hands
preserves their smooth texture and
soft loneliness.
Ivoy is economicay
Furthermore, Ivory will save you the
expense of skin lotions and creams,
which cannot fully repair the harm
done by strong soaps. And, of course,
Ivory saves your clothes-makes
them wear longer and look better.
So, we suggest that you use Ivoryin
one or the other of its four conven-
lent forms for all your household
cleaning. Your skin will show won
derful improvement. Your hands will
be grateful.
