Mr.. j. S. MCMILLAN, EMPoRIA,
Sir: 1 have received
BY railroad freight one box of soap
with your brand. If there is bill please
forward and will pay. If there is no
bill, then accept my acknowledgements
for your POliteness and generosity.
In this world of dreams and fancies,
soap is a great fact. However vision
airy . man may be, there are at least
two or three times in day when he is
brought face to face and hand to hand
with one reality-soap. Soap is
necessary luxury; indeed, you may
say luxurious necessity.
Bread YOU may do without, If you
have warm biscuit. You may eschew
beef, by chewing elk or antelope. Life
can move on even without No. 5
If speckeled trout are plenty.
But without soap man returns to dirt
from which he came.
Soap is the best ally of moral reform.
And (when sOtt) the chief agency of
political success.
or newspapers, we have enough; of
books, too many, by several; but the
century clamors for more
soapi
Mr.. Mcmillan you are a benefactor.
You are a neral reformer. You are
gentleman. You are a success. In
short, you are q soap boiler.
You are becoming household word.
Children cry for you. History will re-
cord in the same page the merits of
Prices baking powder, Winslow's
ayrun and McMillan's soaD
Yours gratefully,
F. s. McCABE.
P.S. Some envious persons tell us
that the box of soap is an insult-a
sort of an insinuation, you know. But
that ttwon't wash" AT any rate we
accept the insult, and will take another
box Of it next summer, and pay the
charges.
