A company that treats workers the right way:

[dixiegrrrrl]

Owner of ( my favorite soap) company is interviewed:

"Last year, every one of our fifteen workers got from six to twenty-two thousand dollars as a profit-sharing bonus. They all have optical and dental as well as medical coverage, and a pension plan. Four times a year, we have safety meetings, which can be boring, but afterward we take all of our employees and their spouses, sweethearts, and kids out for a big party. We'll have an eight-hundred-dollar bill. But they looked on Dr. Bronner, my father, as a sort of father, too. We are all one family, and we try to carry on what he started.
Reporters can't believe 2 million bottles are packed by hand, but you saw it. Four to five people, not working fast, pack them with no machines. Corporate America wants us to believe that you have to have machinery and pollution if you want products; that we can't make money if we share profits with workers. We are proving them wrong and loving it. The business is still run out of a California bedroom that Dad converted into an office. The two secretaries can look out the window and see our cats and orange trees."

1. There are still some good and honorable companies left that realize

how important it is to value your employees. They are run by folks who are not greedy, hypocrites who contribute to repukes.

7. Too bad a lot of us can't afford a four dollar bar of soap.

8. I can buy it for 2.83 a bar.

As long as I keep it dry between uses, a bar lasts for months.
Excellent value and important for allergy sensitive people.

check amazon....different ingredients in the soaps have different prices but the basic soap is2.83 a bar,
free shipping on orders over 25.00.

10. It lasts WAY longer than the major advertised brands (P&G, Unilever, etc.)

9. I love that stuff - but keep the peppermint oil AWAY from the naughty bits!

OOOOOUUUUUUUCCCCHHHHH!!!!!

We've been using it for over 20 years. The almond is the safest for in the shower.
