Sweetest Day
Sweetest Day 1923 was heralded by this front-page Sweetest Day cartoon published in The Cleveland Plain Dealer on October 13, 1923.
Ivory Soap Invented
Ivory's first slogan "It Floats!" was introduced in 1891. The product's other well-known slogan, "99.44 % Pure", was based on the results of an analysis by an independent laboratory the founder's son, Harley Procter, hired to demonstrate that Ivory was more pure than the castile soap then available.
Ivory soap is more caustic than some milder bars, such as Dove, a non-soap synthetic detergent bar. Some consumer investigations have found that Ivory's antimicrobial activity is better than other skin soaps, even those containing antibacterials such as triclosan.[citation needed] A postulate for this effectiveness is the ability of the soap to lyse bacteria efficiently, and to rinse cleanly. The drawback to the soap is its drying effect on the skin, as it easily dissolves natural oils.
