A GOOD SUGGESTION.
ECONOMY, as wise folks say, What course should people then pursue ?
Is wealth pronounced another way, In short, the only thinR to do,
So while "hard times" the people cry, Though rich in bonds, or worldly poor,
The Toilet Soaps they should not buy. The " Ivory Soap" they should procure,
Let all who buy sticri Soaps take care Which may be bought from coast to coast,
To weigh the cake exact and fair, At sixteen cents per pound at most,
And find fhey pay in figures round And docs more satisfaction grant
A dollar, more or less per pound. Than all the Toilet Soaps extant.
A WORD OF WARNING.
Thero are many white soaps, each represented to be " Just as good as the Mvorv'i"
they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkablo qualities
of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
