Supplemental Information:
Buttermilk Soap Company
was a
large suppler of toiletries
. Their exhibit space was located in the
Manufactures Building, Group 87
(Listing and location given in "The Official Directory" of exhibitors shown and digitally highlighted). I've sold some of their other cards in this series showing the WCE Main Buildings. Buttermilk Soap was established by Warren Burns in 1891 with home office in Chicago and factory in Goshen, IL. Buttermilk soap is
still sold today
because of its gentle cleansing of skin.
