Historical information

Pumice soap, which contained powdered pumice stone to add abrasiveness to soap, was used as a hand cleaning agent and to clean household objects. On the underside of the wrapping is a line drawn cartoon in two panels about those who do and those who don't use Pearson's pumice soap: the gist seems to be that if items used to serve or store meat are cleaned with pumice soap consumers will remain healthy!"
