Book Description

Excerpt from Approved Methods for Home Laundering This booklet is published by The Procter & Gamble Co., of Cincinnati, Ohio. It is believed to be the most complete as well as the most reliable publication ever issued dealing with the problems of home laundering. The information it contains is of value to experienced as well as inexperienced housewives. The firm of Procter & Gamble was established in 1837. The Procter & Gamble Co. was incorporated in 1890. Its Ivorydale, Ohio, plant is the largest soap factory in the United States. Branch factories are located at Kansas City, Kan., and at Arlington, Staten Island, N. Y. Of the many brands of soap made by The Procter & Gamble Co., at least three are known from one end of the country to the other - "Ivory," "Lenox" and "Procter & Gamble (P. & G.) Naphtha Soap." Each of these soaps has a field of its own. Ivory is used for the bath and toilet as well as for such other purposes as require a mild, neutral and absolutely pure soap - a soap which, because it contains no "free" (uncombined) alkali, can be used without hesitation for cleansing articles for which ordinary laundry soaps are unsafe and unsatisfactory. Lenox is one of the best and, at the same time, one of the cheapest of laundry soaps. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
