Description

An advertising film for CWS soap products - a mother and daughter are seen playing with soap bubbles which leads into sequences showing the soap making process from melting fats to packing soap flakes, toilet soap etc. These are then despatched to Co-op stores where they are bought by the mother. Finally various soap products and uses are illustrated.
[The preservation of this film was funded by a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund.]
