BROMLEY'S PATENT EMPIRE SOAP,
which heretofore has been difficult to be obtained, as very
few of the grocers will keep it. To use their own words, by way
of explanation, they state,—" Were we to buy it, it would reduce
our sales fully one third, as two pounds of the Empire Soap will
go as far as three pounds of any other soap; we should also lose
our profit on soda and washing powders, as neither of these
articles are required when the Empire Soap is used, in either the
hardest water or in sea water." What the grocers are displeased
at in this soap is its strongest recommendation to the notice of
the large consumers, private families, hotel keepers, laundresses,
&c. It only requires to be used with a light hand. And besides
the above advantage it saves half the usual labour, consequently
less friction and wear in the clothes, and will not injure the
colours in the most delicate prints ; and is equally valuable for
every other domestic purpose, even for toilet use, as it is.a pure
soap, free from rosin and other useless ingredients, which not
only add unnecessary weight to the soap but detract from its
cleansing properties.
To be had wholesale at the Works, No. 22, Cherry-lane, and
from the following dealers :—Mr. Edward Davies, chandler, No.
84, London-road ; Messrs. Tasker and Price, 209, London-
road ; Mr. John Dixon, grocer, No. 48, Pembroke-place; Mr.
William Davies, grocer, 58, Mill-street; Mr. David Drew, ship-
store merchant, 40, Waterloo-road ; Messrs. Scott and Taylor,
ship-store merchants, 28, Mason-street ; Messrs. Buttner and
Schonstadt, ship-store merchants, 11, Hurst-street; Mr. W..H.
Maitland, ship-store merchant, 45, Regent-street.
One Trial will prove the superiority of this soap.
