Persil: We Mothers

Persil: We Mothers


A mother's work is never done - as these two young girls playing at grown-ups have realised.

Two well-spoken young girls dressed in frilly white frocks play at grown-ups. They exchange news of their soldier husbands away at war, and young Mrs Green laments the challenge of keeping baby Gladys' clothes clean. Mrs White reassures her that Persil washing powder is here to save the day, with 'the whitest white wash'. Sadly, this film survives incomplete and the final few feet are missing.

Advertising film for Persil washing powder.

Two young girls with their dolls play at grown-ups in a sitting room. They discuss their husbands away in the war, and the trials of keeping their
children's clothes clean. One girl remarks to the other that her child's clothes always look so spotlessly clean and that it must be a terrible strain
on her clothing and soap coupons, to which the other replies that with Persil it is half the work, you save soap and clothes coupons last twice as long. (Incomplete - end of last line missing)
