| TEXT | Soap has been called one of the greatest agents of civilization, and an eminent writer has noted the fact that the quantity of soap consumed by a nation is no inadequate measure of its enlightened condition. However this may be. the industry of manufacturing fulling and scouring soaps is a very important one in tbe United States, and the trade in these articles is annually increasing in volume. A prominent house engaged in this manufacture is that of the Holbrook Manufacturing Company, Nos. 466 to 470 Washington Street, which was founded in 1868, and since its inception at that date has always commanded a liberal and influential patronage in consequence of the unsurpassed character of its various productions. The factory is a very spacious, substantial nine-storied building admirably arranged and fitted up with all the latest improved machinery and appliances, operated by powerful steam-engines, and in every respect the appointments and apparatus of this concern are such as can only be found in those of the most progressive character. The company manufactures in large quantities fulling, scouring, crown, silk, laundry, flax, and bleaching soaps, wool-scourers, etc., and all these different kinds are produced upon fixed scientific principles, with the greatest uniformity and care, and are unsurpassed by those of any other contemporary house for strength, excellence, and quality. Wherever these soaps have been introduced, they have been found to be invariably pure and uniform, and entirely free from corrosive alkaline matter, which is commonly found in ordinary classes and which is so detrimental for laundry and bleaching purposes. The silk soaps are made from olive-oil, and it has been the aim of this company from its foundation to produce only really first-class articles, and this fact has caused the enviable success which has attended all its operations. The proprietors of this enterprising company give their personal supervision to the business, and see that nothing is used but the best materials, which are purchased direct, thus enabling them to offer their goods to customers at extremely moderate prices. These facts, together with skill in manipulating the materials, aided by ingeniously constructed machinery, have made this company one of the most prominent in this industry. The owners of the Holbrook Manufacturing Co. are held in the highest estimation in mercantile life for their integrity and ability, and justly merit the success achieved by their enterprise and perseverance. |
