SIDDALL'S 



Magnetic Soap. 



The Cheapest soap that can be used 

 for the following reasons : 



1st. — One bar will go as far as two of any other. 

 2d. — Only half the usual rubbing being required, there 

 is a saving of more than the entire cost of the 

 Soap in labor alone. 

 3d.— The clothes are made SWEET, CLEAN and 

 WHITE without Boiling or Scalding, thus all 

 injury to them is avoided. There is a saving in 

 fuel and. hard work, and the washing is done in 

 about half the usual time. 

 It is guaranteed under penalty of fifty dollars not to 

 injure the clothes or hands, and as one trial will enable 

 any ptrson to ascertain the truth of these statements, 

 it would never pay the proprietor to engage in an ex- 

 tensive system of advertising and claim such decided 

 merit for his Soap unless he knew from positive exper- 

 ience that it would prove to be in every lespect what 

 is claimed for it. 



This is also a superior Soap for Toilet and Shav- 

 ing purposes.
