This ad from 1958 for Ivory soap is one of many ads published in mid-century magazines where beauty was front and center. Ivory soap promoted itself as a beauty product and not just a soap. Their ads through the decades always featured models with young, fresh complexions. This model of course is no exception. However, thanks to her classic look, she would feel at home in today’s beauty publications.
