Plan No. 499. Bath Powder
The delights of the bath are greatly multiplied by adding a well prepared bath powder, and one of the very best of these was put up by this lady, as follows:
Borax, 10 ounces; tartaric acid, 10 ounces; starch, 5 ounces. Mix the ingredients together, and perfume with lavender water. Two teaspoonfuls of the powder to a tub of water will soften and perfume the same making it at the same time more cleansing and delightful.
She put this powder up in 8-ounce paper boxes, and sold it for 25 cents a box. It proved a good seller all the year round and the profits were exceptionally large. The drug stores carried it in stock, as it assisted greatly in making other sales, owing to the demand for it.
