IMPORTANT TO AI1.-The public are be-
coming more and more thoroughly convin-
ced of the superior washing qualities of the
WILMINGTON CITY SOAP. The articles of
which it is composed are so thoroughly
ncutralized that you need have no fear of
rottiDg your clothing. The patent and
labor-saving soaps of the day are doing
more to rot and destroy clothes than all
the wear the clothes receive. If you will
use WILMINGTON CITY SOAP according to
directions ON each pound, you will find it
to save as much time and labor as any soap
in the market, without any risk of in turing
the clothes. Pure and full weight

Moore was to be supplauted, and every man
who had exhibited the least reluctance at
