The N.K. Fairbank Co. in Chicago manufactured soap as well as animal and baking products in northern Illinois. The company had several factories and two international offices. An original Fairbank creation, Fairy Soap, was purchased by Proctor & Gamble and remains one of the best-known European household brands.
Fairy Soap! What a fun trip back in time. I'll have to find that old bar of Ivory I have somewhere....
