"Sanitas: A Powerful Weapon in the Fight Against Germs" During World War I, Sanitas disinfecting fluid emerged as a crucial tool in maintaining hygiene and preventing the spread of diseases among soldiers. This advertisement showcases its effectiveness, highlighting its role in safeguarding their health on the battlefield. In Dusseldorf, Germany, towering over the cityscape stands the imposing Kaiser Wilhelm monument. Amidst this grandeur, Sanitas played a humble yet significant part by ensuring cleanliness and protection for both locals and visitors alike. Flipping through the pages of The Illustrated London News from 1912 reveals a plethora of adverts showcasing Sanitas' wide range of products. From flu fumigators to disinfectants, it was clear that Sanitas had become synonymous with cleanliness and well-being during this era. The lithograph depicting Gymnastic Apparatus further emphasizes Sanitas' commitment to promoting good health. By providing essential equipment for physical exercise, they aimed to encourage an active lifestyle while simultaneously advocating for germ-free environments. Nestled within Marylebone's Brunswick Chapel in London lies another testament to Sanitas' influence. As worshippers gathered here seeking spiritual solace, they could also find comfort knowing that sanitation was prioritized thanks to this revolutionary brand. Looking back at history reveals an advert from 1897 promoting a flu fumigator by Sanitas. Even then, people recognized its potential in combating contagious illnesses and creating safer living spaces for all. The vibrant color lithograph featuring The Earl Fortescue serves as a reminder that even those belonging to high society relied on Sanitas' innovative solutions for maintaining personal hygiene standards amidst their lavish lifestyles. An engraving captures yet another advertisement endorsing the power of Sanitas. Its message resonates across time - cleanliness is paramount when it comes to preserving one's health and well-being.
