“SOAP-FAT! SOAP-FAT!”
“Angels and ministers of grace defend us!”One drop from Helicon,—sweet muses, lend us!—
The angels fly—askance the muses scan!
What could they say about a soap-fat man?
The collecting of Soap-Fat (the grease saved from cooked meat) is a business followed principally by Irishmen, and this enables a family to save a considerable sum in the course of a year, by the sale of the soap-fat which accumulates in their kitchen. The object in purchasing it, is to dispose of it again to the manufacturers of soap, which is an extensive business in this city and vicinity. In the more select and fancy scented Soaps, made from refined lard, tallow, oils, &c., Johnson, No. 3, Courtlandt street, has a peculiar method of finishing to perfection and putting up with beauty, the most elegant kinds to be found in the city.
