Duz and Bonus Laundry Detergent
Once upon a time, you could buy a box of laundry detergent and get something really useful out of it besides a plastic scoop.
And during the 1950s and '60s, there was such a detergent. In fact, a few of them.
Duz and Bonus laundry detergents each offered a bonus goodie. Duz offered a free china plate, bowl, cups and later, glass tumblers in each box. Moms would then religiously buy Duz until their china set was complete.
They must have sold a lot of these dishes as today, they are still as ubiquitous as Herb Alpert records in any second hand store. |
Bonus offered free bath towels.
It was like Cracker Jack for housewives.
Breeze was another line of detergent that offered premiums. |

Building Mind Power - The Ben Sweetland System (Nocturnal Education/RCA Custom, 1956)
Ben Sweetland was a motivational speaker. Similar to Norman Vincent Peale, Napoleon Hill, Zig Ziglar and the late Robert Schuller. He was a godfather to the self-help craze that continues to lure in desperate people to this day.
A pioneer in "sleep training", he published this 22 record ‘system’ as a way for average people to improve themselves via conscious and subconscious education.
These records look like 45 RPM discs. But they actually played at 16 RPM with an average playing time of 20-30 minutes per side.
Are you sure this is something that ought to be played during daytime hours? |
