1964 – Ivory 3 Generations

A windblown trio for Ivory soap.

Here we see 3 generations. Granddaughter, daughter, and mother. Their ages are 3 1/2 months, 21 years, and shhh! This trio is from Greenwich Connecticut. They are Mary Jane Darrow, Dianne Darrow, and Milldred McDonnell. Grandma isn’t telling her age because she looks so young due to using Ivory soap.

This ad appeared in the October 1964 edition of Ladies Home Journal. 2 months later, a similar one was published.

They are Barbara Salkowski, Susan Salkowski, and Sue Doyle of Grosse Point Park, Michigan. No word why they have wind-blown hair, but this young looking grandma also uses Ivory soap.

About Janet

I'm an American baby boomer with a strange hobby. I collect mid-century women's magazines. My blog, MidCenturyPage.com is a result of a 20 year passion to scan the pages of these magazines and share them with anyone who wants to understand what mid-century women thought about, cared about, and worried about while living in the 1950's and 1960's

      That’s really cool. I’m so happy you found the ad. It must be weird to see yourself in an ad from so long ago.

        It was terrific to see! We also made a television commercial which I have. Such a keepsake for our family😊🙌
