By
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania: Pennsylvania Salt Mfg. Co, 1905. Very good. Light toning, dust soiling.. Chromolithographed advertising card for a brand of powdered and perfumed lye, marketing the product to housekeepers, homemakers, and other domestic workers (i.e. women). Includes a color illustration of the product in the tin, with a lengthy pitch for the product's efficacy and time- and labor-saving attributes. Interesting to see how companies marketed products to women at this time. Measures approx. 6" by 3.5" folded, 6" by 7" unfolded.
