Sunny Monday

No, not the song - the SOAP! The advertising person who came up with this slogan should be given some kind of award. I found this ad in a newspaper dated 1910, and thought I couldn't improve on it in the least - except to add a little sun.

An Oval Fairy!

Have you a little fairy in your home? Well now, that's a good question. How about the Gold Dust Twins? This is a dunning letter from the Credit Department of the Gold Dust Corporation in St. Louis, Missouri, in September of 1924. It seems that Northwest Chemical and School Supply in Spokane, Washington, ordered 10 cases of Hotel Fairy soap in August, and had failed to pay their bill promptly, hence the letter encouraging a speedy remittance. Examine the piece of paper closely, and near the bottom you will find the Gold Dust Twins, who sold the Corporation's other product in print advertising - Fairbank's Gold Dust Washing Powder - GUARANTEED to wash just about everything.
