By authority of his Majesty's Royal Letters Patent,
(granted to an eminent Perfumer in London)
CAKES for making of (hiring Liquid Black
ing for Shoes, boots, or any other leather that re
quires to be kept black. These Cakes make, with
the utmost ease, a molt excellent Shining liquid
blacking, much fuD riar to any hitherto known;
for it gi.es the finest black and mod beautiful gloss
to the leather, yet never renders it fliff or hard,
but on the contrary prevents it's cracking and pre
serves it loft, pliable and mellow to the very last,
thereby it is not only rendered more agreeable to
the wearer, but likewise much more durable than
when blacked with the ihining blacking at present
in common use. It has these further good qualities,
that it is perf.a!y free from finell, and the (hots
that are blacked with it will neither foil the fingers
in putting on, nor the flockings in wearing.
Sold at one (lulling and fix-pence the cake, with
printed directions for it's use.—ls they do not an
