careful not to get an imitation.
There are a great many Elec-
-tfesaad Magnetics, all intend
ed to deceive the public into
supposing that they are Dob
bins Electric, or just as good.
We have made this since 1860.
1t is the original Electric and
is guaranteed to be worth four
times as much as any other
soap ever made. For washing
anything, from the finest lace
to the heaviest blanket, it is
without a peer. Only follow
directions.
