CURRIE'S
IMPERIAL FURNITURE OIL
AND
FRENCH POLISH RENOVATOR.
MP HIS Preparation has met the highest approval of Cabinetmakers,
L Hotel keepers and Families of Distinction (for the last Ten or
Twelve Years) throughout the Kingdom, as being the Best and
Cheapest in use for Cleaning, Polishing, and Preserving all kinds of
House Furniture. It is applied with half the usual trouble. It
cleans and removes all kinds of Stains, gives a brilliantly smooth
gloss to Dining and Drawing Room Tables, and makes them resist
the action of hot dishes, warm water, &c. It revives the gloss of
French Polished Furniture, keeps the wood of a light shade, and
preserves the new look.
One or two Certificates, out of many received, are subjoined : —
Cordon Street, Glasgow.
Dear Sir, — We are happy to affirm that we have used your Furni-
ture Oil for many years, and have f ound it superior to every other
kind. We have also supplied it to our customers, to whom it has
given entire satisfaction.

1 have used it in my own Establishment for many years, and have
found it superior to every other kind ; and that I have also supplied
it to my Customers, to whom it has given general satisfaction.
