He had wasted incal- culable hours hop-frogging around the tub-bottom after jeering, rainbow-tinted soap that sank like a lead bullet. Young Jimmy had had 4is troubles, too. On the evening after the circus young Jimmy was struggling with his sinker- cake. It shied here and it hid there. It laughed at him ha-ha. Then he invented the balloon-levitation act. (Principle of Physics: balloon plus sinker-soap coun- teracts gravity.) It was a good act. It was so good that James the Aged adopted it the very next day, as you see. But complications are about to ensue. James the Young wants that balloon back—now! What to do. What to do! ‘“Jimmy,”’ cajoles the Aged Parent, suddenly inspired, ‘‘tell your mother I'll give you back your balloon if she will dig me up a cake of Ivory Soap.”’ Note to soap-diving fathers: Dor.’t steal the young man’s balloon. Ivory floats under its own power. It stays on top, inviting the eager hand. It is the only soap we know of which invests bathing with all the comfort and luxury to which a gentleman is entitled.
