Therefore they don't mention the biggest one of the bunch—the Ocean of Prejudice.Prejudice used to be all against Unscented toilet soap. Highly perfumed soap with an odor that attracted loud attention, was the only toilet soap worth using. True, it cost a lot of money, and it wore away very quickly. But prejudice proclaimed it "the thing" and it was in popular demand. Procter & Gamble makers of Ivory Soap faced this prejudice, knowing that just as soon as people realized that perfume was not necessary in toilet soap they would shout for Ivory. Experience during recent years has proved they were right for nearly all sensible and economical housewifes now use IVORY soap almost exclusively in their homes. Ivory Soap costs only five, ten and fifteen cents a cake at most grocery stores.
