General Editorial Review
Chas. Dall, Manft. American Cream Soap. In calling attention of our readers to the above soap, we do so, fully assured that it is an article that will bear us out in all we say of it. Mr. Dall has been engaged for the past twenty years in the manufacture of soap, some two years ago he discovered a process for making a new and superior article, which he named, “American Cream Soap,” and its continued use and constant growth in favor wherever tried, are proof abundant that it is indeed a superior article. For removing machine oil and all kinds of grease from clothing, woolen goods, carpets, etc., cleaning floors, paint, windows, and for laundry purposes it has no equal. It is also a fine toilet article, and used by machinists and printers for removing oil and ink from the hands it is invaluable. The soap is put up in tin cans full directions for use accompanying each can, housekeepers will find this a labor saving article, sold generally by grocers, or by the manufacturer Chas. Dall 111 Liberty street.

In his posing room and laboratory you may see many evidences of his thought and long experience, found nowhere else as they are his own inventions, and if fortunate enough to find him with a few spare moments, and engage in conversation, you will find him thoroughly posted on all the news and inventions of the photographic world.
