This is an advertisement for Broaxine.
In the journal of Albert was buying some Boraxine to clean up his house and make sure everything was nice and tidy. Boraxine was used as a type of soap to clean almost anything that you needed to be clean. It was a powder that you could use on just about anything. You could use it carpets, sheets, clothes, and any other thing that you need clean. Boraxine was a very popular item and it grew tremendously and made the creators very rich. Mr. Larkin was his name and he had also made other soap types such as bars but the most popular was the powder Boraxine.
