(4187) White King Soap Company — An order has been issued direct¬ ing White King Soap Company, Los Angeles, to cease and desist from making misleading representations in the sale of a laundry soap and a toilet soap manufactured by its parent company, the Los Angeles Soap Company. Commission findings are that in advertisements the respondent represented, among other things, that “White King Granulated Soap” is the only soap with which fabrics can be satisfactorily washed in cool water; that cool water washing causes fabrics to be brighter and w'hiter than hot water washing, and that the use of this soap in w'ashing textiles makes it unnecessary to use bleaching and bluing. According to Commission findings, “White King Granulated Soap” is not the only soap wdth which fabrics can be satisfactorily washed in cool water; some fabrics are preferably w'ashed in cool and some in hot w'ater, and washing of textiles with the respondent’s soap does not make unnecessary the use of bleaching and bluing. The Commission’s order directs that the respondent cease and desist from these representations and that it also discontinue repre¬ senting that the use of a jelly made from “White King Granulated Soap” will remove all spots or stains from fabrics; that this soap is superior to other similar soaps; that all fabrics fade or shrink when W'ashed in hot water, and that the use of the respondent’s laundry soap prevents fabrics from fading or shrinking. Concerning its “White King Toilet Soap”, the respondent is directed to discontinue representing that this product will keep the skin fresh or supple, or prevent or remove wrinkles in the skin.

The order further directs the respondent to cease and desist from representing that “.Athlete’s Foot Salve” is a cure or remedy for athlete’s foot or has therapeutic value in its treatment in excess of temporarily relieving symptoms of itching and in some cases destroying superficial fungi; that “A. M. Wonder Salve” is a cure or remedy for eczema or other forms of itch or rash or has therapeutic value in their treatment in excess of affording temporary relief from symptoms of itching, or that the prepara¬ tion has any properties effective in preventing infection or in treating ulcers, old sores, leg sores, acne or pimples.
