And the beauty of the thing is that t is all of home muke, the product of the Peninsular Soap Woiks, of tliis city. The grades and varieties of soap are such as to meet the (Iemands of all people aiul condltions. All qualities and piiees. No need now of any one going unclaan either in person or apparel. The worka establUhed here are extensive and the facililies such as to meet future dcmands, no matter how great thcy may bt'come. There is probably no factory in the west making more desirable áridos of laundry aud toilet soaps. If yon have not already done so drop In and see the display at the Hangsterfer store.
