Description
This is an antique metal advertisement for Fairbank's Gold Dust Washing Powder by the Lever Brothers Company (New York, NY). The history of this one is fascinating! The twins on the sign are named Goldie and Dusty. NK Fairbank's and Co. started using them for marketing in 1892. The brand was acquired by the Lever Brothers and distributed out of Cambridge, MA. This was the top selling washing powder in the United States by 1903. The twins were designed by EW Kemble. Their usage was phased out in the 1950s for obvious reasons. This is an excellent educational piece for discussing civil rights.
