trade card

Trade card in shape of whale, advertising Kendall's "Soapine" (of Providence, RI); printed on one side a sailor holding mop and sitting on black whale's tail, printed in white spot on whale "Soapine/ DID IT!"; printed on back "Do You Wash?/ If so, use Soapine/ It works Quicker,/ Easier/ Cheaper,/ & Better/ than anything else/ There is ONLY ONE/ KENDALL'S Soapine". F. Calabretta notes: Cleaning the skin of a whale is no problem for Soapine. The whale may represent a pilot whale, also known as blackfish, a species commonly observed along the Unites States coast.
