T)REPAREDIn accordanca with the latest advancements In chemistry bb applied to _L the Woollen Msmnfactnrlng Industry. It ia a deoided Improvement on the old fashioned dips and only requires a trial to prove its superiority. At the late Sheep- dipping Competition, conducted by the Canterbury Agricultural and Pastoral Associa- tion, the Kalapol Woollen Co., on behalf of the Association, for wool dyeing and general manufacturing pnrpoßea, awarded th 6 first place to Brooke's " Perfect" Sheep Dip ; In fact, Brooke's Dip was the only one that actually Improved the wool In thia important respect, thr« undipped wool beiug second, whilst all the others were more or lesß dieoolored. The Association hlbo pronounced BROOKE'S "PERFECT" SHEEP DIP to be unperior to the Zoalandia, Little's, Hatch's, Cooper's and McDougall's, and also leave the wool !n better condition than Thomas' Dip. Brooke's Dip having con- aequently been proved to be better than the English Dipe. your praotloal support of the colonial article is reepectfnlly solioited. To ensure Brooke's Dip being more thoroughly lasting m its good effects, m future It will be sent ont2o per cent stronger free of extra charge. Proportions for use. — One Gallon of Dip to 100 Gallons to water. Mixea readily with cold water ; does not require Btirring while dipping. Remarkably emollient, leaving the wool In perfect condition, without the fillghtes stain from the firet cUy of Dipping.
