Black Silk makes a brilliant,
silky polish that does not rub off
or dust off, and the shine lasts four
times as long as ordinary stove
polish.
It is used on sample stoves by
hardware dealers. Sold by them
to those who want good goods.
Ail we ask is a trial. Use it on
I your cook stove, your parlor stove
I or your gas range. If you don’t

I refund your money. Insist on
