Original – 1898 advertisement for Ivory Soap, by The Strobridge & Co. Lith.
Reason
An attractive and historical advertisement for a notable product, which has been in the article in a highly inferior version for at least a couple years. In this case, two of the three main points used - purity and floating - are still major aspects used in the product's advertising, which is pretty good for a century-plus-old advertisement campaign, and thus helps vividly illustrate that aspect of the product's notability. Article could be a touch better.
