The Yankee Knack

The story of American industrial development has no more fascinating or impressive chapter than that devoted to the discoveries and improvements resulting from the extraordinary inventive genius of the New England workman.

He is never content with things as they are. He is forever experimenting--and successfully. He searches until he finds the soul of the machine, and from this intimate acquaintance he begins to eliminate and improve. He accomplishes the paradox of perfecting a perfect article. If there is a practicable way to make one part do the work of two, if some added device will simplify a process or improve a product, he will not rest till he has worked out the problem.

This passion for invention has been from the first a vigorous characteristic of the New England mind. The early settlers were artisans rather than tillers of the soil; and when by a bitter struggle with an undeveloped country they had supplied their immediate wants, they naturally turned again to manufacturing; and this mechanical bent, stimulated to alertness by a vigorous climate, resulted in course of time in an almost incredible mechanical ingenuity--the "Yankee Knack."

This genius for simplification of processes, this wonderful knack of devising machinery which will do the work of the human hand, has multiplied the output of our factories: and this in turn has increased wages and decreased the hours of labor, and so brought a great uplift into the lives of our workmen; given them the power to provide better homes for their families, better education for their children, and greater leisure in which to work out a broader destiny for themselves.

As in the past, so in the present and the future. The "Yankee Knack," which long since turned New England into a vast workshop, is still at its age-long task--simplifying, improving; lowering cost of production, ever raising quality of product--and all to the end that the average American family shall enjoy today what were luxuries but yesterday, and gratify in their turn the yet undiscovered desires of tomorrow.

Ivory Soap is not an ordinary laundry soap. It is a better-than-ordinary soap.

It is made of _better-than-ordinary_ materials and is intended to be used for _better-than-ordinary_ purposes.

There are any number of soaps that cut dirt much more quickly than Ivory Soap will. They are fine--for cleaning pots and pans and cement walks.

But don't wash shirtwaists with them; or woolens; or colored goods; or silks; or dainty dress fabrics; or laces; or any other article that is _better-than-ordinary_.

For cleaning things of that kind, Ivory Soap is so much better than anything else that it really has no competitor.

And the reason is simply this: Ivory Soap is pure. It contains no "free" alkali. It is the mildest, gentlest soap it is possible to make. It cleans--_but it does not injure_.

Ivory Soap ... 99-44/100 Per Cent. Pure.

Yo' sho am a "good friend" honey!

Bon Ami

Most cleaning preparations are adapted for _coarse work_ in the kitchen only.

Something else has to be used for the _finer articles_ in other parts of the house.

Bon Ami can be used for _all cleaning purposes_.

Every housekeeper knows that for use on windows, glassware and mirrors, it is absolutely unapproached. It gives a brilliancy to the glass that nothing else can duplicate.

For bathroom work--on nickel ware and porcelain, it is equally effective.

For use on painted woodwork and linoleum it is ideal. It does not scratch away the surface, but simply _cleans it_.

For brass, copper, etc., it is far better than coarse caustic powders.

It has still other uses, such as removing grime from the hands and cleaning white canvas shoes.

In fact, Bon Ami polishes and cleans almost every kind of surface.

And it does this without injuring or roughening the hands or the article upon which it is used.

_18 years on the market and "hasn't scratched yet."_
