PLAN No. 505. SALE PLAN FOR ALMOND CREAM
Reading edition
Few of the accessories of women’s toilets are more highly esteemed than is a preparation known as almond cream, and a lady who was especially partial to this, put it up in the following manner:
Distilled water, 90 fluid ounces; quince mucilage, 5 ounces; solution of soda, 11⁄2 ounces; boric acid, 1 ounce; cold cream, 1⁄2 ounce; sweet almond oil, 1⁄2 ounce; glycerine, 1⁄2 ounce. Stir cold cream, almond oil and solution of soda together until a uniform soapy cream is obtained. Dissolve the boric acid in 60 ounces of water, warmed, and to this add the glycerine and quince mucilage, then add this composition slowly and with regular stirring to the former. Add sufficient perfume and the rest of the water, stirring until uniform.
The drug stores sold a large quantity, and she added to her receipts by making it a mail order proposition.
