Old recipe discovered

[Guest]

This old soap recipe was typed on a manual typewriter, folded
and stuck in a book my sister found at a garage sale. She said
all the stuff from the sale, including the book looked like it was
from the '60. Pretty cool.

OMG that is so awesome My how the recipes have changed along with the directions.

That's cool! I love old stuff......

Ammonia, though?? :shock: I don't know about that one.

With the ammonia and borax in there, it must have been for laundry soap, I'll wager.

That's what I was thinking -- or general purpose "house cleaning soap"

It's funny though:
We have salt and sugar in our recipes.
