    I didn't realize that Pears soaps had such a long history till this post got me checking. Just love that 1930s ad.

    Bob, yeah 1789, I didn't realise either !
    They certainly went into advertising from the word go.
    In a big way.

    Nice ads! I haven't seen any that old. I have a few that I am looking for frames for. How nice some of these colorful ads would look on the wall!
