ROYAL WASHB0ARDS WITH
PROTECTORS
16 CENTS EACH.

1t is well known that the Royal Wash
board is one of the very best wash
boards made. There is not Whole
sale Grocer in the city who will sell
them for less than 81 80 per dozen,
or I5c each.
We neither stole them nor bought
them from our "Uncle;" all the same
we will guarantee every board perfect
and let you have them at lac each.
The protector is very handy con-
trivance which prevents the water and
suds from splashing over the person
using the board. 1t is well worth the
cents extra.
