Soap is cheaper than dirt, for dirt is the forerunner of disease
germs, and disease genus usually cost us much in health as well is
money.
When it comes to soap we have so many different varieties and
makes that it is useless to enumerate them. Tasts vary in soaps,
as well as in many other articles, so it is up to us to carry all of the
best, especially those that are nationally advertised.
When you want anything in the line of soap come and see us, we
have just what y° u want—and if we havn’t got it we’ll get it for
you.
