Plan No. 500. Sachet Powder
There are many kinds of sachet powder, but none are superior to the following, which this lady prepared and sold in immense quantities:
Orris root, 10 pounds; lavender water, 16 ounces. Spread out the orris root in thin portions on a table, and sprinkle the lavender water over it. When dry, after the two have been well mixed, it is ready for packing.
She put it up in envelopes containing one ounce each, and these she sold in large quantities for 10 cents each.
Occasionally she would offer a package of the sachet powder as a premium with other preparations that were not selling as rapidly as they should, and thereby greatly increased her sales of other articles in this way. Besides, one package of the sachet powder usually brought repeat orders.
