Author: Advertising ABC. Kryolith. Title: Kryolith Kids Alphabet.
Description: Pennsylvania Salt Manufacturing Co [Chicago printed]. 1907. 21x18cm colour illustrated publisher's wrapper; 28pp, colour illustrations throughout by Art Williamson. A short tear in the bottom edge of one leaf, minimal signs of use, rather good. ¶ A charming ABC extolling Kryolith - made into lye, caustic soda, sold as Lewis Lye - and the multitude of ways it makes life easier, healthier, more beautiful. Cryolite seems to have come from one source, a deposit on the Greenland coast which, once that lode was turned into lye or used in the production of aluminium, pretty much vanished from our lives.
