MOTHER!
Here now is the modern way to safe and sure protection for
BABY'S TENDER SKIN
FROM birth up to the second year the protective layer (stratum corneum) of Baby's precious skin is extremely thin and delicate. During the crucial nappie-months the groin, buttocks and deeper skin folds easily become irritated and open to attack by the microorganisms which cause nappie-rashes. But now doctors have found that a new substance called hexachlorophane kills these organisms in minutes. And so that you can give Baby this wonderful new protection, hexachlorophane has been cleverly incorporated into both ZAC Baby POWDER and ZAC Baby CREAM. By smoothing the cream into Baby's chubby creases, groin and buttocks, followed by a generous sprinkling of the powder, at every nappie change, nappie-rashes become a thing of the past, you give Baby safe and sure protection and long lasting comfort. Your own chemist can supply or can quickly get them for you. Boots branches stock.
ZAC BABY POWDER

Tubes 1/5 (about 20 cents)?

The average price of a new home then was $12400 about 2.48 times the yearly average wage of $5010. Which was about 2.28 times the price of a new car $2200. Today?
