TO MAKE MAGIC POLISHING CLOTHS

Mix two pounds of whiting and one-half ounce of oleic acid with a gallon of gasoline. Stir, shake and mix well. In this compound soak flannel rags of the desired size; then wring out and hang up to dry, being careful not to bring them near a fire or open flame. it will be found that cloths treated in this way will give a fine gloss to silverware or any polished surface, without the use of any powder or liquid dressing. They will not soil the hands and will preserve their polishing qualities. indefinitely. Cloths prepared in exactly this way have had a run at the dry goods stores recently, under the name of Magic Polishing Cloths, and retailing at a quarter each.
