Sometimes I think my husband doesn't care a snap about me.

You smell like shit, Susan. Take a shower.

But be sure to use the LIFEBUOY Health Soap! It's the only thing that works on your powerful "BO" (body odor). My Grandma NEVER smelled like shit like you, and she used LIFEBUOY Health Soap.

This soap ad: "Men will only love you if you don't smell like stink. Girls, take note, wash your all your creavases with our soap. You won't stink, which is the only thing holding you back from getting and keeping a husband."

And the corner note: "men Also feel Nice when clean".

Tastes like shit though...

"Over the years I got to be quite a connoisseur of soap. My personal preference was for Lux, but I found Palmolive had a nice, piquant after-dinner flavor - heady, but with just a touch of mellow smoothness. Lifebuoy, on the other hand..."

I wonder what life was like for that Victorian elderly couple, who experienced everything from the Civil War to at least WW2.

Imagine the joy when they first gained access to soap.
