Lifebuoy Health Soap

Advertisement for Lifebuoy Health Soap includes a small comic trip. In the course of four panels, two men discuss body odor problems. One man, wearing a single-breasted suit has just been fired for an unknown reason. The other, sporting a double-breasted model, asks if the first man uses Lifebuoy. In the final panel, the fired man is happy to tell his friend that he has a new job and that Lifebuoy soap helped. There is also a photograph of American Air Lines pilot Joseph L. Burns of Buffalo, New York, and an image of a box of Lifebuoy Soap.
