"ivory" Soap

THE VILLAGE BLACKSMITH. Under a spreading chestnut tree And when the soap escaped his grasp, The village blacksmith stands, With wonder he did note And in a brimming basin hc That on the water1 s surface dark Would wash his brawny hands ; The cleansing bar did float, But something elss th.m water clean As swims upon a turbid lake His sooty palm demands. A pearl white fairy boat. Week in, week out, from morn till "Thanks, thanks," saidhe,"my worthy night, friend, He might have rubbed, I trow, For this which thou hast brought ; Had I not given him a cake No village blacksmith should forget Of Ivory Soap, when, lo ! The facts this Ivory Soap has taught ; Full soon those honest hands of his For hands like mine it is the best Were spotless as the snow. That can be found or bought." A WORD OF WARNING. There 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 germine. Ask for and nsist upon getting it. Copyright, 1886, by Procter & Gamble.
