Description
Black and white 9 3/4″ x 13 1/2″ ad that is for Woodbury Beauty Bath Soap. This ad has a picture of a lovely lady posing as she looks at herself in a mirror after taking a bath. The caption says “‘Let your own mirror show you…’ says Mrs. Salvatore Randazzo, another lovely Woodbury bride”. The ad text starts off by claiming that “Your New Complexion Secret New Woodbury Soap made with Face Cream Oils”. It then claims that they “Now have skin that’s soap-and-water clean, and still softened by the same fine oils and emollients used in expensive face creams. These oils were added to New Woodbury Soap because they’re intended to help replace the natural oils you wash away with ordinary soaps – the oils that keep skin looking fresh and young! Think about what that means – specially to dry skin! New Woodbury Soap is such a delightful beauty care! It gives more generous, rich, creamy lather which cleanses more gently and throroughly. It’s a lovely sea-spray green color, and has an exquisite new bridal-flower fragrance that lingers delicately. The new blue-and-white wrapper with the lovely lady and her mirror is the symbol of a new and lovelier you – of the cleanest, most radiant complexion of your life! Look for the new symbol on both bath and complexion size”.
