^^OME time ago we conducted a prize contest to k-' which users of Ivory Soap contributed about 50,000 recipes. These recipes tell bow to use Ivory Soap, either by itself or with other materials, for things rarely attempted with soap.
From these recipes we have selected more than one hundred which are exceptionally helpful and, in many cases, most unusual. We have tested each one and proven that all accomplish the desired results with complete satisfaction.
The reason is. Ivory Soap contains nothing harmful no free alkali, no harsh materials of any kind. It is just mild, pure, biodegradable soap nothing else. Therefore, it can be used safely and success- fully where ordinary alkaline soaps would be disastrous.

But please remember that if, at any time, you have a cleaning problem not covered by printed instruction, all that is necessary is to use Ivory Soap and common sense.
