Notes
Distributor's imprint printed on verso: Geo. S. Adams, manufacturer's agent, No. 117 North Second Street, Philadelphia.
Advertising text printed on verso: Lavine for washing. The best and cheapest article every offered to the housekeeper. Ask your grocer for it and take no other. It has taken the highest awards at the American Institute Fairs, in October, 1880 and 1881, as well as the First Premium at every state and county fair where exhibited. Do not pay 15 cents a pound for a washing compound, when you can buy a better one for 13 cents. Make sure that your grocer give you Lavine. It makes the hardest water soft and will not injure the finest clothes. It does not burn the hands nor chap them in winter. Try it for washing your marble steps, floors, sinks, milk pans, or anything which may need washing.
