Perwoll

for fine laundry

A package of Perwoll detergent is positioned in the center of the poster, standing in front of two pieces of clothing. Across the top portion, the text reads: “Die Persilwerke bringen für feine Wäsche und alles Zarte” (“The makers of Persil present [a product] for fine laundry and all delicate items”). At the bottom, the slogan “Zum Säubermachen – Henkelsachen!” (“For cleaning – Henkel products!”) is displayed.
