Thomas SOAP AND CANDLE Factory
This establishment, situated ON the corner Of
Payne and Cameron streets, has been 10 con-
slant and successful operation for more than
twenty years, and has acquired deservedly
high reputation, the articles manufactured
there being preferred by hOusekeepers and
others, to those of the same description made
elsewhere. The soap is of the best quality,
as We arc ready to attest, having been pre-
scented with box When articles manutac-
tured at home are as good as those from q
distance, and can be bought on equally rs
good terms, we cannot see why they are not
given the preference. We hope that in fu-
ture, this, as we'll as all other home manu-
features, will be more literally patronized.
