Among my books I found this page. Is it an old back cover? Where is the book? It is an old advertisement for Pears soap - it was only an old sixpence for a cake. Is there a link with Cornwall? Certainly! Andrew Pears was a farmer's son from Mevagissey, born in 1770. He was a barber who went to London. He developed a gentle soap, without impurities, for sensitive faces. In the past, in Truro on Lemon Quay, there was "Atlas" soap and candle works. That used smelly animal fat, tallow. The soap was not without impurities!
