Some grocers are so short sighted as to decline to
keep the Ivory Soap claiming it does not pay as much
profit as inferior qualities do so if your regular grocer
refuses to get it for you there are undoubtedly others
who recognize the fact that the increased volume of
business done by reason of keeping the best articles
more than compensates for the smaller profit and will
take pleasure in getting it for you
