This Celebrated Washing Soapi is now in mar
ket for more than year, and that it has given
universal satisfaction, is evident from the fact
that the Manufacturers Of it, in order to supply
the demand, have been obliged to incrsase their
capacity to make equal TO One Hundred Thou
sand Pounds per Week. 1t is decidedly the best
and cheapest Soap ever made in this Country !;
One Pound Of il will go as far, 70, any use, as
Three of the Common Soap in general use. II
is made upon a new principle, of the best materi-
ais, and known only to VAN HAAGEN d Nc.
KEoNE. 1t does away entirely with the wash
hoard-saves the necessity of boiling the clothes,
it does not shrink Flannels, REMOVES GREASE,
INK on PAINT sPoLs perfectly, and from the
most delicate fabric, saves fully one half the
time and labor usually spent TO do the washing.
1t is warranted free from SAL SODA, OF other
