Palmolive Soap signifies far more than a soap with cosmetic oils. Palm and olive oils have been used for ages. But they scarcely began to bring such complexion results as women get from Palmolive Soap. Palmolive is a unique creation, based on 60 years of soap study. Its results are due to modem science, seeking ways to beauty,above all It costs only 10 cents. But that is due to enormous production. Palmolive is now the leading toilet soap of the world. The only two soaps that compare with it cost 25 cents a cake. Millions now employ Palmolive because of what it does for com plexions. It is made in five countries, to supply the world-wide demand. It is made in France—the home of fine cosmetics—because French women prize it above other soaps made there. Skins soft and velvety, rosy and smooth, are very common now. But that is not due to mere olive oil, nor to palm oil. They have been used for ages without bringing Palmolive effects. These new results are due to modem science—to methods never before em ployed. Don’t, for your own sake, expect crude methods to bring you like results. There are now many “olive oil” soaps. Some are very crude soaps, with artificial color—based largely on animal fats. If you seek mere cleansers, they will cleanse. But if you wish to keep a schoolgirl complexion, you want the soap which does that Let no one sub stitute for Palmolive an ordinary “olive oil” soap.
