Swan
Full color 9 1/2" x 12" ad with several cute drawings of four babies playing in a large bassinet, ducks standing in line and singing, family members singing outside of the bathroom door and dishes that are singing with clean joy. The ad headline claims this soap is "Baby-Mild for everything - Swan is pure as Fine Castiles". This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.

Woodbury
Black and white 9 1/2" x 13 1/2" ad for their Facial Soap. The ad has a series of pictures of the wedding and honeymoon of Lt. (j.g.) Warren J. Moore, USN and his bride Edna Russell. The ad headline calls it a "Cupid's Eye View of another Woodbury Deb" and the picture captions talk about their courtship and how using Woodbury Facial Soap helped make her skin soft. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
