Hundred Guineas Reward For Counterfeit Violet Soap Patent
A reward of one hundred guineas is offered for information leading to the conviction of the person who counterfeits the patentee signature for The Patent Violet Soap. The notice defends the 1785 patent granted to Watter Gorbong of Surrey Lodge for a chemical method to deprive soap of its caulic ley, sold as The Patent Violet Soap. It warns against selling under the name Harvand Co and explains the patent grounds, printing details on each square of soap, and authorized London sale at Bank Buildings, Cornhill. The price is one shilling per square and one shilling per bottle of cream. A letter to printers promises a complete refutation in a forthcoming morning paper.
