The Soar Observation-Disclosures
ENTERPRISE = AN OLD ESTABLISH
MENT.-We yesterday had the pleas
ure Of looking through the ware
rooms and soap mandatory of Philip
Decker, Esq. and were astonished at
the excellence of the articles and the
facilities for manufacturing the same.
Mr.. Decker's soap factory is stu
ated on Third Avenue, two squares
beyond Eleventh Street, and is a large
and commodious building. Every
modern appliance has been secured.
and the proprietor has endeavored to
fully keep up with the times, not only
only in the matter of manufacturing
facilities, but also in the excellence
of the goods manufactured and offered
for sale by him. For ordinary do
nestle use, he makes three brands of
soap, named respectively German
Yellow Erasive,n aud Decket's
Premium" The latter, as It's name
signifies, is the ne pas ultra IN the
Wsy Of domestic soaps. Among It's
many excellent features we note the
following: aJ
1. Il will not rot or injure the
clothes in the slightest possible man
ner.
2, It may be used in hard or salt
water.
3. 1t will entirely remove grease
spots, paint, tar, etc., from clothes.
4. It is very agreeable for washing
the hands; it will not chap them like
other soap, but will soften the Skin.
Tits also claimed for this brand Of
soap that it is more economical-a
pound of it will accomplish more
than any other soap. The " German :"
soap is also very fine article, and
we are informed isin great demand;
in fact, it has been a standard brand
for a number Of years. The +" Yellow
Erasive is also an excellent article,
and has also been manufactured and
sold for years. M
Mr.. Decker is. an old citizen. and
has been engaged in the manufacture
of soap for seventeen years. and he
warrants every pound of soap that he
makes. His soaps command a ready
sale in many cities, and he IS extend
ing his trade almost daily. We have
tried his soaps, aud have found them
to be as recommended. Evansville
can compete With Cincinnati and other
cities in the manufacture of soaps,
and there IS no reason why there
should not be heavy and growing
trade in this business. Mr.. Deeker's
store is on Third Street. between
Sycamore and Vine. and he will take
pleasure in showing samples to those
needing anything in his line. He only
asks that each article sell upon its
merits, exclusively.
Mr.. Decker is also large manu-
facturer of lard oil, and all kinds of
lubricating oils. In these articles he
has built up a splendid trade, because
he sells prime article only. and
always endeavors to give value re-
eeived to his numerous patrons.
In the way of fancy soaps, Mr..
Decker fully keeps up with the spirit
of the age. His Variegated and
and Rose " soaps will compare with.
the finest brands of toilet soap, and
he also manufactures a very fine arti-
Gle of CASTLE soap. The capacity of
the Factory is five hundred boxes. or.
nearly thirty-fTe Thousand pounds
per week. The foreman Of tie Fac.
tory, Dir. Adolph -Meleer, Is a gentle
man of large experience, and fully
understands the wants of the trade.
No CAsEs.-The Recorder had no t
a single case yesterday, and has only
tried one case this week, we believe.
The Tycoon is seriously thinking Of
rendering his resignation, as he says
the city has become so orderly and
