Scenario 3-1
In the early and mid-1800s, soaps were made from animal fats. The perishable quality of the soap, however, allowed manufacturers to sell a product with only regional appeal. This changed when soap makers began to use vegetable fats and perfume in the soap-making process.
According to Procter & Gamble legend, one batch of this vegetable-based soap was left to mix too long. The result was a product that floated in water due to an excess amount of air. The company turned this into a selling point and, in 1882, launched one of the first soaps with the potential for national sales--Ivory soap--with the slogans "It floats" and "99-44/100 percent pure." (Stephen Fox, The Mirror Makers, [New York: Random House, 1984], 24.)
-(Scenario 3-1) One effect of the passage of the Pure Food and Drug Act of 1906 was that

• A) the manufacturers of Ivory soap had to list its ingredients on the label.
• B) advertising claims for Ivory soap became strictly regulated.
• C) Ivory soap had to become 100 percent pure.
• D) branded products had to trademark their brand names.
