Summary: "As our starting-point, let us look through one set of shop windows. Mrs. Smith and family buy for their morning toilet either Lifebuoy or Pears or Lux or Eve or Vinolia. They clean their teeth with Pepsodent, or S.R. or Gibbs Dentrifrice or Solidox. For make-up they use Atkinson products.....one thing Mrs. Smith is unlikely to know: that every one of these actions helps to swell the profits of one combine: Unilevers. Moreover, it is almost eight to one that when they are buying soap or margarine, all the Mrs.Smiths of Western Germany, France, Holland, Belgium and a number of other countries are propping up the same firm: Unilevers." -- from the introduction.
