The ad has a chart with three rules that are "X'd" out and replaced with the new rules that Dash has brought into play. Their rules allow for a reduced amount of powder being used in each load, fewer suds so it will rinse cleaner and that it is only for laundry and only for automatics. It ends by making the claim that "Dash cleans cleaner than any powder made for all automatics".

Duz
Full color 8" x 11" ad for their Laundry Detergent. The headline challenges you to "Look at All the Ways...Today's Duz does a better job in your washer than any 'detergent'!". We see a picture of Mrs. George Bassman folding her bath towels that have been washed "a couple of hundred times" and she can't get over how good they look. Her child sitting in the high-chair behind her doesn't look too impressed but kids of that age have little interest in how things look, just in how they feel and taste. Then we have a picture of Mrs. Homer Noel who appreciates that fact that with Duz she can "do three or four washer loads in the same Duz suds". Having a big family and a small water-heater make that necessary. Duz will remove more grimy dirt, wash more loads of clothes and will clean more safely while also leaving your wash softer and smoother, it will make your woolens fluffier and your shirts and linens will be easier to iron".

The story starts with a picture of several children who are having a circus with two children covered in a white sheet and being introduced as "Togo Wildo - the only White Baby Elephant in captivity". One of the little girls in the audience shouts out as she points "Fake! That Elephant isn't white - it's gray.". Another child tells her to "Pipe down, Bess. This is your Aunt Mazie's sheet and it's as white as she gets 'em.". Mazie, sitting nearby, clenches her fists to her cheeks and cries "Gracious! I'm embarrassed to tears!" while her earnest friend assures her that even though she works hard, "your clothes DO have Tattle-Tale Gray". She confides to Mazie that she started using Fels-Naptha to take the gray out of her clothes and is pleased with the results. Mazie promises to try it and claims that she will "take you and Bess to a real circus" if it does everything that she says. The last picture shows the three of them at a real circus being happy about Fels'Naptha and about seeing "Real Elephants".

It worries that "more than likely you're doing it yourself" and now you are probably having problems finding your favorite laundry soap. They admit that it is difficult to be patient about these things but they want you to believe that "the makers of Fels-Naptha are doing everything they can to keep you supplied". They claim to be working day and night and urge you "if your grocer doesn't have Fels-Naptha Soap in stock today - he will have it soon. So please keep on asking".

Full color 7 1/2" x 11 1/2" ad that discusses both their 99 44/100% Pure Hand Soap and their Ivory Flakes Laundry Soap. There is a five-frame cartoon that tells a story for each product. In the first ad two sisters are together and the one offers to bathe the baby of the other. The child starts to cry and his mother notices how rough her sister's hands are. She claims it is due to the rough dishwashing soap she uses and the other lady questions why she doesn't use Ivory Soap to wash her dishes since it does a great job on that and softens your skin too. The lady with the rough hands is worried that she cannot afford such an expensive soap but she is told that it is actually cheaper than regular dishwashing soap. The other ad shows two sisters preparing for a visit from a rich aunt by planning on wearing the lounging pajamas that she bought for them. The one sister brings hers out, bright as new, as the other one finds hers having been washed by the cleaning lady. The one done with Ivory Flakes look much better than the one done with the bath towels in a general detergent. The sister with the faded pajamas is relegated to having to fake an illness, miss a night at the theatre and dissapoint the lady with all the money.

Full color 9 1/2" x 13" ad for their Washday Soap. The ad has a picture of a man happily putting on his sparkling white shirt while his wife stands behind him pointing to a box of Tide as the reason that his whites are so white. The ad is filled with claims such as "Sooner or later almost everyone turns to Tide", "No washday soap - no other detergent known - Nothing else will wash as clean as Tide - yet is so mild!" and that "More women by far use Tide than any other washing product in the world". The smaller pictures in the ad talk about getting "Such clean, clean clothes!" and "Such dazzling white clothes!" because Tide is "Recommended by the makers of 25 Automatic Washers!".

Tide
Full color 8" x 11" ad for their Laundry Detergent with the most famous parents in America at that time, Ozzie and Harriet Nelson. Harriet is shown lifting the lid of her new Hotpoint Automatic and finding that the manufacturers have supplied them with a box of Tide. The text explains that Hotpoint and other unnamed manufacturers put Tide in every new automatic. While Harriet is explaining what she has found in the washer Ozzie sports his familiar silly grin that looks like he is wondering what's for lunch.

Tide
Black and white 9 1/4" x 12" ad for their Laundry Soap. The ad has a picture of Gunther and Lucille, from the TV show Car 54, Where Are You, doing their grocery shopping. Lucille is telling Gunther how good Tide is and that she can get a Free Pond's High Lustre Lipstick with Tide boxtops. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.

Vel
Full color 5" x 11" ad for their Detergent that was Hard on Dirt but Easy on Hands. The headline calls it "Truly a Miracle of Mildness!" and claims that it "Now brings you the safest way of all to wash fine fabrics!". It shows a box claiming that it can be used to clean Dishes, Stockings, Lingerie and Woolens yet it is "So Kind to Hands". There is a picture of an attractive lady brushing her bare shoulder with her hands that look as soft as the shoulder they are touching and the text mentions more of the delicate fabrics that you can safely clean by using Vel.
