At about the same time that Colgate & Co. introduced a perfumed soap called Cashmere Bouquet, William Procter and James Gamble decided to begin business together in Cincinnati. These two men began their 
fortune by selling candles and soap from a wheelbarrow. It did not too long before Procter and Gamble was delivering large quantities to major cities such as Memphis, Pittsburgh, and Louisville. Ivory soap was introduced to the marketplace in 1879.
Did you every wonder why Ivory Soap floats? In the development stages, James N. Gamble called it ‘White Soap’. James Gamble and his associates finally perfected the formula for the “White Soap” in 1878. At first, the name of this soap was going to be called P&G White Soap, but Harley Procter decided to give the soap a name that people could remember. Procter attempted numerous times to find an appropriate name for the soap.
This Ivory soap tin sign would look great in any room or given as a great gift.
