NOR cleaning Solid Silver, Nickel, Brass, Copper and Plate Glass. Quick! Sure! Permanent! No dirt, no trouble, no jabor. Being entirely free from grit and ecids, it cannot injure the most finely burnished sur- face. It is the only preparation ever pro. duced that will polish brass or copper with- out the use of acid. Nothing approaches it for removing grease and finger marks from Brass, Copper, Glass, etc; while for cleaning Nickel or Stoves it is especially useful. Retail price, 25 cents per bottle. MICA WASH.—This wash is the only thing of the kind ever invented, A stove may be as handsome asa jewel and shine like ebony; but smoked mica lights will spoil it all, Day by day mica becomes ecarcer and higher in price, and an article that will clean and preserve it is valuable to all concerned Try this wash once, and you will always use it.
