For almost seventy -five years the House of Eavenson has been engaged in the production of fine soaps to meet the exacting demands of the American woman. But with the introduction of filmy costumes and sheer stockings arose the need for a soap which would soften and beautify, not the face alone, but shoulders, arms and back — the entire body.

Their problem was to originate a perfect combination of the two greatest cleansers and beautifiers of the skin known to Science— pure soap and pure cold cream. After months of work and literally hundreds of experiments, the chemists announced:“We haveit.” Eavenson's French Process Cold Cream Soap was no longer a dream but a reality. With a soap as pure as the most delicate of facial soaps, they had succeeded in incorporating a generous measure of the finest of cold creams. They had made the cold cream treatment, here- tofore confined to facial massage, available for beautifying “the entire body. To the American woman they presented a soap, which, used in the daily bath, will bring out the softness and delicate tints which proper care will discover in almost - - any woman's skin.
