UNIM1991.11.94C (Collar Packaging)

Original Van Heusen shirt collar washing suggestions. A floral patterned border is printed on the paper. At the top is text reading, "Suggestion for washing".

 

Underneath is text that reads, "Dissolve a tablespoonful of Rinso in about a quart of very hot water. When completely dissolved add sufficient cold water to make suds lukewarm. If collars are being laundered with the family wash, the directions on the Rinso carton will give excellent results. With hard water, use more Rinso --- enough to make creamy, lasting suds. Soak collars in lukewarm suds fifteen or twenty minutes --- overnight if you wish. After soaking as above, rub briskly with any small brush which has been dipped in dry Rinso. Or, if preferred, dry Rinso may be sprinkled directly on the soiled spots, such as the edge and the spot on the back against which the collar button presses, and the collar rubbed between the hands until all soil or discoloration is removed. If Rinso is not available, soak the collars in good thick Lux suds or wash with some other pure mild soap and apply brush or rub between hands as indicated above. Iron flat while still fairly damp."

 

Underneath the instructions are the brand logo (silhouette of a man in profile above the words "VAN HEUSEN / the World's Smartest Collar"), the parent company (PHILLIPS-JONES CORPORATION) and the address (1225 BROADWAY, NEW YORK).
