Good-morning, kittens and dawgs! If I Didn’t Care then I wouldn’t share all the fabulous finds of All Things Vintage with you. 😉 Thank you joining me this morning!

Today, I want to tell you about a happy accident 137 years ago. In 1879, a worker left a batch of White Soap, that’s what it was called then; today we know it as Ivory soap, mixing while he went to lunch and when he returned he found air bubbles in the mixture. He decided against throwing out the batch because of the small error and he poured the White Soap into its frame. After the soap hardened, it was cut, packaged, and shipped; then a few weeks later letters streamed into the Proctor and Gamble’s office asking how they could get more soap that floats.

Ivory soap has literally been apart of my whole life. This is one product I’ve used since childhood. I tried other soaps over the years, but never for too long. I always came back to the simple ingredients and low-cost of Ivory. The best part is, it just works well on my skin!

Here’s a few vintage Ivory soap ads from the 20s and 30s.

 

It Had to be You. Music by Isham Jones, lyrics by Gus Kuhan. Recorded 1924. 

 

Irene Bordoni (1895–1953), singer and actress recorded Cole Porter‘s song (I actually prefer Porter’s version better), “Let’s Misbehave” from Paris that got cut in production with the Irving Aaronson & His Commanders orchestra in 1928. 

 

Irving Berlin wrote “Always” and in 1947 recorded by The Ink Spots.

1959 “Shout” is The Isley Brothers’ first million selling hit. Depending on who you ask, but personally I consider this song more retro then vintage. lol
