IVORY SOAP PASTE.
In fifteen minutes, with only a cake of Ivory Soap and water,
you cun make a better cleansing paste than you can buy.
Ivory Soap Paste wilt take spots from clothing ; and will clean
carpets, rugs, kid cloves, slippers, patent, enamel, russet leather and
canvas shoes, leather belts, painted wood-work and furniture. The
.special value of Ivory Soap in this form arises from the fact that it
can be used with a damp sponge or cloth to cleanse many articles
that cannot be washed because they will not stand the free applica
tion of water.
DIRECTIONS FOR MAKING.-To one pint of boiling water add one and one-hair ouncee
(one-quarter of the small slie cake) of Ivory Soap cut Into shavings, boll five minutes afttr the aoep le
thoroughly dissolved. Remove from the Are and cool In convenient dishes (Dot tie). It wilt keep well
