X-Ray Soap |
|
|
| This is an empty can of X-Ray Soap
produced by X-Ray Products Co. of Port Huron, Michigan. The date of
manufacture is uncertain, but I would guess that it might be from 1910 or
so. I did find advertisements containing references to X-ray Soap bars and
cakes that dated from 1898 to 1912, but the manufacturer of these products
was not identified.
The instructions on the can indicate that the soap is suitable for hands, laundry, carpets, dishes, floors, automobiles. In effect, just about everything. "X-Ray Oil Soap is a clear pure vegetable paste made from linseed and vegetable oils, soponified with best potash obtainable. it contains no animal fats, greases, acids or alkali; is free from grit or chemicals. Transparent in color and agreeable in odor." Size: 4 1/2" high, 5 1/4" diameter |
