More profit than the IVORY will."
A WORD O WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the 'Ivory'tn
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and Insist upon getting it.
C. M. HENDERSON &
Reply to all who do intend
Touse you thus to gain their end:
When you for your own soap create*
Upon its worth demand as great
As IVORY SOAP this day can claim.
Til buy, should trade require the same
But have no time, I tell you true.
To introduce your soap for you.
And customers perhaps offend
With goods I fear to recommend."
Don't buy the soap that salesmen says
Is like the IVORY every way,"
For grocers can this tale unfold
Of every hundred cakes they sold
On seventy-five a loss they bore,
Or else it ne'er had left their store.
