| What IIP- Top Soap Company IS 1 Doing
 ] Much has been heard lately of the new Tip Top Soap company products | in Phoenix. People that have used the soap are very strong in their praise of the new product. Mir. Green and Mir. Rogers. the principal promoters of this new Phoenix en- terprise. have a plant that is indeed interesting, at 1906 West Fillmore street.
 The company started manufacturing in very small wa! about sixty days ago. A visit to the plant will prove very interesting. At the time Of starting a small basin Of about two quarts and wooden frame mould holding two pounds, with kitchen spoon, produced the first soap And as fast as people sampled the soap the company received orders for more. As result. d two gallon pan was soon in use. Then d four gallon tub was used. followed by q siN-gaI- lon tub: in each case the mould boxes were increased. Recently, o-gallon vat was ordered. however but a l5-gallon one was sent. This is now installed and working. It is of cast iron with a tWo-inch base
 
 The present mould that is being used makes a cake of 200 pounds. Last S;iturday's run produced 350 pounds of soap There being five bars to the pound Saturdays production was l15O bars
 It is interesting to follow the manu- fracture of this soap. The company has just completed installation and is now using carrier trestles that pass d two hundred pound cake of soap in three different directions, through high carbon fine steel wires thai cut the cake into one thousand bars These carriers are operated by q small windlass. These bars are then taken to a press which contains a die and with 5o0-pound pressure. rnoulds the bar into a smooth neat production ready for the market.
 The basis of the soap is from large mineral deposits owned by Mr. Rogers and MT. Green. These deposits are located in the Tip Top mountains. They contain salyeilic acid, alumin- um oxide. calcium oxide. masuesium | Dxide. potassium oxide and sodium i cxide. as well as several other min | erals.

A window clean CT has been produced that with the use of an ordinary cotton ras, will not unlv quickly clean window containing dirt and oil but will le1ve the glass in highly polished con aitfon. A securing powder has been produced on old blackencd pots and kettles this powder in very little time removes all the black and leaves the ! pans and kettles in their original 5loss and surface.
