Illustrated trade card depicting a boy sitting on a rock near a body of water playing with a model sailboat. Bush & Co. was operated by John V. and Van Camp Bush., Manuscript note on verso: Chester., Contains advertising text printed on verso: Always buy Bush & Co's improved borax soap, because it is made of the purest and best materials. It is the best laundry soap--making your clothes clean and sweet, with very little labor. It works equally well in hard or soft, or in salt water. It is a splendid luxury for the toilet or bath; wonderful in its beneficial action on the skin, equaling the imported castile soap. It is remarkably good for washing the head, cleansing the scalp and rendering the hair soft and glossy. It is the most economical, being sold at a reasonable price, and one cake will do as much work as two cakes of the ordinary, so-called cheap soaps. Ask your grocer for Bush & Co.'s borax soap and take no other., Cataloging funded by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities (PW-506-19-10), 2010-2012., Digitized.
