S. washers may think of the oldtime question: Good morning, have you used Pear's Soap? Yet, though Lux, Lifebuoy and Pear's all are Lever Bros, soaps, they are not the Lever Bros. soap. Leading Lever Bros, product is Sunlight Soap. The main Lever works are at Port Sunlight on England's Mersey River. Almost unknown in the U. S. is Sunlight, largest selling soap...
