Image description

Among the most fascinating business ephemera in the Warshaw collection are the inventive and colorful lithographic ad cards. Babbitt and his company seem to be praising the virtues of women, perhaps especially mothers, his primary customers, in order to flatter them into purchasing his products for themselves and their families. Here two patriotic children are lifted aloft in a Babbitt’s soap powder box attached to a balloon, and the caption reads, “Soars Above Them All.” Warshaw Collection of Business Americana held in the Archive Center at the National Museum of American History.
