Fairbanks Gold Dust Washing Powder Package
Fairbank's Gold Dust Washing Powder - The Many Purpose
Cleaner. The N. K. Fairbanks Soap Company produced numerous
types of soap and cleaning products. The business started in 1897
and eventually folded in the 1930's. The Gold Dust products were
represented by the Gold Dust Twins, two African-American children
surrounded by gold coins. The orange box with the universally
recognized twins practically jumped off the shelf. In fact the
twins were one of the best known trademarks of the 19th century.
Let the Twins Do Your Work was the tag line. The back of the box
shows the twins tackling several household chores as well as a
list of 34 cleaning jobs made easier by using Gold Dust. There
is still a small amount of powder in the box. The product was
distributed by Lever Brothers Company. The box measures 6"
x 9" x 3" Net weight 2 lb. 4 oz. (Stock number 003GoldDust)
