Cleanliness is next to godliness, and
you can't do much without soap. There
is as much difference in soap as in any
thing else. Our folks have tried all
kinds, but they award the premium to
Frank Siddalps. No oiling or rub
bling of understanding and rinsing is
all that is necessary. 1t is wonderful
soap. II. i. Richmond & Co. keep it
for sale at their drug store in Hatch's
block. Try it and you will be pleased
with it. Only 10 cents cake.
