This black-and-white Rinso soap powder cinema advertisement from 1935 shows two young girls dressed in fairy costumes dancing in a lounge room. When they finish, one asks her mother to tell them a story. The mother tells a story about one Monday when she was given a box of Rinso by a fairy, bidding farewell to tiresome days of scrubbing and washing. The mother encourages her daughter’s friend to take a box of Rinso home to her mother.
