@biggurl1965 My grandmother collected Breeze towels. They weren't thick enough to dry a teardrop.

She's an over protective dish washer.

I have a whole box full of these glasses still in their little box. Grandma must have done a lot of laundry.

Amazing how they packed glassware in dishwashing soap to sell their product. I remember my Mom got some of this back in the day and brought the box home only to find the glass inside was broken. When she went back to the store to return it they gave her a hard time, saying "How do we know YOU didn't break the glass yourself?" She never bought Duz again and switched to Cascade.

Lever Brothers' arrangment with Cannon went farther back than the "Breeze" premiums; in late 1952, "a genuine Cannon face cloth" was offered in large-size boxes of Lever's "Silver Dust" {"wonder bubble suds for both laundry and dishes"}. That brand was fading, and, as Breeze eventually did, "Silver Dust" vanished by the end of the '50s...

wow, free stuff. I was born too late, there aren't even prizes in cereal any more...

biggurl1965, you have an impressive memory! Thank you.

There was another detergent back then - I don't remember its name - that came with an entire towel in the box as a way to get you buy. Even then that struck me as odd.

FUNNNY MAN THAT MADE ME CRACK UP!
I remember many freebies in the Duz box, one time my mom bought a box that had a full set of dining room chairs in it, my dad had to help her carry the box in.

That detergent was Breeze by Lever Brothers (now Unilever). They had a partnership with Cannon Mills to offer free dish towels, hand towels, or washcloths in every box. My aunt LOVED to see what new item she'd find in her next box! My Mom didn't buy Breeze - she preferred Tide for her laundry.
