the right kind of laundry soap saves
your time, strength, clothes and money.
Cheap and common soap makes the washing come out
yellow and partly dirty. Many grocers stock that
kind for the few extra cents it nets them, We don't.
We want your trade next year and the year after--therefore
we sell only the soaps and washing powders
that rtTtain for us your custom and friendship.
Some popular brands offered by us this week: Borax
Soap, FelsNaptha, P. G., Flake White, Crystal White,
Bob White, Lenox, White Russian, Ivory, Fairy,
Sunny Monday.
