Economy, as wise folks say, Is wealth pronounced another way, So while "hard times" the people cry, The Toilet Soaps they should not buy, Let all who buy such Soaps take care To weigh the cake exact and fair, And find the pay in figures round A dollar, more or less, per pound. What course should people then pursue? In short, the only thing to do, Though rich in bonds, or worldly poor, The "IVORY SOAP" they should procure, Which may be bought from coast to coast, At sixteen cents per pound at most, And does more satisfaction grant Than all the Toilet Soaps extant. 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 genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. Copyright 1886, by Procter & Gamble. * * * * * Transcriber's Notes: Punctuation errors repaired.
