It has gone too far now to say it is a joke about the MarBden cellulose company not going to establish a plant here.

Allcock^
POROUS PMSISRS
Why are Allcock's the best pilasters? Because they mnke the cures where all others fail. Why do they m:ik the cures? Because they contain the right materials. Compare their fine aromatic oilor with the nasty smell of all other plasters. Your sense of smell will tell you which is the best. Did you know that Allcock's have a greater sale than all the other kinds put together? Did you know that all makes and brands of so-called porous plasters are in imitation of Allcock's? But they imitate in appearance only. Don't waste your money in buying the false. Get ALLCOCK'S, the standard plaster of the world.
