Gold Medal Polish

Twelve pounds Spanish whiting, one-half pound English or light brown castile soap, three ounces aqua ammonia, two ounces olive oil, one ounce sassafras oil, one pint soft warm water. Shave soap fine and dissolve in part of water all night. In the morning add both of oils and thin with ammonia. Mix well with the hands, put in one-half of the whiting which has been sifted through a flour sieve. Mix thoroughly with the hands and add the rest of the whiting gradually and water very sparingly, until all the whiting has been worked in, make like bread dough and knead on a board. Make in cakes and place on a clean board to dry. G. R. C.
