White; Just as soon as cold weather sets in, my hands roughen
and crack. I buy the best and most expensive soap my druggist
has, but the result is just the same ; sore hands every winter.
Bivwh : I had just the same experience, until I read one of the
Ivory Soap advertisements, about too much alkali in some soaps,"'
which draws the natural oil from the .skin and leaves it dry and lia
ble to crack, so I sent out and jot a cake of Ivory Soap, and found
it all the advertisement promised ; my hands arc soft and smooth -the
year round. -".
A WORD OF WARNING.
Thero 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 insist upon geltittg it.
