but it is worth repeating. A friend
went to a large soap manufacturer

turer. Out of the hundreds of soap
made you can name only six and
mine heads the list I can't afford
not to advertise. The soap manu-
facturer was a large user of space in
the daily newspapers. He died the
other day leaving an immense for
