Costs but four cents per pound. No washing
machines are required; no pounding is neces-
sary, and usually but very little, If any, rub
bling is required. 1t Is easily made, q boy or
girl OF fifteen years of age, by going according
to the directions, can make 100 lbs. in one
hour. The ingredients which compose it can
be obtained in any village.
When the Soap is made it can be readily cut
into bars, and is ready for USE We have de-
voted great deal of time and labor to invent
a soap that would take the dirt and grease
out Of clothes without damage to them or
without having to rub, pound, etc., to make
them clean. All that is required with this
soap is simply to soak them in suds of this
soap short time, and then to boil from ten
to twenty minutes, then rinse. blue and hang
not yellow, as some soap leaves the clothes.
The article itself is the best recommend it
can have, and upon its own merit we are
willing to let it stand. We are confident that
no person after testing its quality will be
without the family right to make and use this
excellent soap.
In order that all may be benefited by this
soap, and none, however poor they may be,
need be prevented from using it and enjoying
its benefit, we have placed the price OF family
rights at the low sum of ONE DOLLAR EACH,
