The Colgate Company (New York City) was founded in 1806 by William Colgate when he began manufacturing starch, candles and soap. On William’s death in 1857, the business was reorganised as the Colgate Company with his son, Samuel, taking over as the new manager. Colgate began manufacturing and selling its own brand of toothpastes in 1873 for which they subsequently became world famous. The first toothpaste tubes were sold from 1896, whereas prior to that, toothpastes were supplied in ceramic jars with attractively printed lids.
In 1911, Colgate pulled off a marketing coup when they started their dental healthcare campaign that involved the distribution of free Colgate toothpaste tubes and toothbrushes to schools as well as providing dental hygienists to instruct the children in the correct way to brush and look after their teeth. Presumably, it was from this that the Colgate Health Club (CHC) came into being, for the club was certainly in existence by 1917. The Colgate Company merged with Palmolive-Peet Company in 1928 to form the Colgate Palmolive Peet Company.
This badge was issued as part of a membership pack for new CHC members but was unable to find any information about the significance of the ‘meritum award’. This badge’s octagonal shape reflects that of the famous Colgate clocks located in Jersey City (NJ) and Clarksville (IN).
Would anyone know if the Colgate Health Club existed in Britain?

Toothpaste and orange juice, pools and cell phones, first dates and unfortunate run-ins with skunks, and artists and bodybuilders: these are a few things you wouldn’t really think go together, but the art of Patrick Brown disproves at least one of those pairs. Why spend your time in the gym when you could be like Patrick Brown and simply draw yourself a Bow-Flex body? We at Creative Tempest love Patrick Brown’s mastery in rendering the human form, and how, even when exaggerating it, he maintains a naturalness to it. Find out more at www.creativetempest.com

I noticed this 'face' whilst lying in the bath, it was produced by my children randomly flicking toothpaste round the bathroom.

This toothpaste soap actually started out as a custom order. After researching the 'said' benefits of using handmade soap to clean your teeth I thought I'd better give it a try for myself. I'm so glad I did. My teeth DO feel cleaner, I could actually feel the difference after my first brushing! And, I feel a lot safer using soap that I've made and with ingredients that I can actually pronounce! Although I'm going to have to get used to the taste (it is in fact soap). I feel so much better using a natural toothpaste, umm I mean teethsoap. I've already thrown my shampoo and conditioner to the wind and am very thankful for my custom toothsoap order that has opened my eyes :-)
Here's a few things I've found out about using tradional toothpaste.
Fluoride is: toxic, once used as a rat poisoning and insecticide, a pollutant made of aluminum by products, can actually cause your teeth to crumble in large doses!

After reading all this crazy stuff on toothpaste my husband, who I would NEVER in a million years think would do want to switch (on his own), has decided to toss the toothpaste back to the chemical gods!
What does my teethsoap contain?
Oils of Coconut, Palm, and Olive - saponified.
Olive Oil Infused with Cinnamon (flavor)
Peppermint Essential Oil (flavor)
Titanium Dioxide, natural teeth whitener.
Directions: Wet your toothbrush and swipe the teethsoap bar a couple of times. Brusha brusha brusha, and rinse about 3 times. Spit, don't swallow it. All done! Oh and by the way, you can wash with it too!
I'm not a doctor and make no medical claims. You can just search for 'toothpaste soap' and find a lot more info online. Thank you :-)
