THE BEST ADVERTISEMENT OF IVORY SOAP 
is the soap itself. The ‘second-best advertisement is the factory, or rather the factories, 
in which it is made. 
The parent-factory is located at Ivorydale, a suburb of Cincinnati. There are about 
forty buildings altogether and they occupy the greater part of a tract of land, 85 acres 
in extent. 
Most of them are three or more stories high, four to six hundred feet long and one 
to two hundred feet wide. All of them are of stone or stone and brick. They are 
surrounded by well-kept lawns. Flower-beds add a touch of color to the scene and 
the factory-walls are covered with vines. Everything about the place is as clean and 
bright as a new pin. 
‘A small army of men and women is employed. The conditions under which they 
work could hardly be improved upon. In winter, the buildings are comfortably warm. 
In summer, they are as cool as scores of revolving fans can make them. At all times of 
year, pure air and an abundance of light are provided. 
In point of completeness, cleanliness and beauty, Ivorydale has few equals and 
no superiors. 
Is it surprising, then, that its products, chief among which is Ivory Soap, are not 
equaled, much less surpassed, by those of any other factory?
