Wright's Coal Tar Soap : advert in "Travel Notes" : booklet issued by the Southern Railway of England : 1923

            seen in a small booklet/folder called "Travel Notes" issued by the Southern Railway to assist travellers to the Continent. The folder includes a pocket for travel  documents as well as many pages of adverts.

The folder must have been issued just after the 1923 Grouping as although the main text refers to the Southern Railway, elsewhere it appears as the either still the South Eastern & Chatham Railway or the Southern Railway (S. E. & C. Section) as well as including adverts that still mention the Caledonian Railway that would have been, by the time of printing, part of the London Midland & Scottish Railway. 

Wright's Coal Tar Soap was a product of the Southwark, London based company of Wright, Layman and Umney Ltd. who exploited the Victorian ideals of cleanliness based upon the antiseptic powers of coal tar. Despite having gone through many changes of ownership the trade name is still in use although modern H&S legislation prohibits the use of coal tar in non-prescription products and so other ingredients are used.
