Item Details

An Ivory Soap commemorative centennial collection for Procter & Gamble employees. This piece of commemorative ephemera was distributed to P&G employees in 1979. The front of the folder reads ‘Celebrating 100 Years Ivory Soap As America’s Favorite.’ Tucked into the inner cover is a ‘Moonbeams 79’ magazine, documenting the history and provenance of Ivory soap. Beneath that, printed on rice paper, is a letter to P&G employees, celebrating the anniversary of Ivory and asserting that P&G employees ‘can all be proud in celebrating this 100th birthday.
