- Long ago people had no soap like the soap that is going now.
The old people used to make the soap with tallow. They used to mix the tallow and washingsoda together and then boil them. When they would be well boiled they used to put the mixture into a tin dish to cool.
When it was well cooled, they flatened it out on a flat-board, until it was well fit for using.- Collector
