We hereby certify that we have used
Dobbins' Electric Soap, made by l. l..
Cragin & Co., Philadelphia, Pa, and state
that its use has given general satisfaction.
That it is pure soap, and although little
higher priced than other common rosin

in price. We therefore recommend it to all
who dssire strictly irst-class soap.
