Text of Memphis Stock Dip factory card:

 

"Of the 200,000,000 head of live stock on American farms more are protected against disease and parasites by Rawleigh's Dip & Disinfectant than by any other similar preparation. These two dip factories, the largest in the world, are used exclusively in manufacturing Rawleigh's Dip & Disinfectant, a preparation 4 1/2 times stronger than carbolic acid and having 50 farm uses. Their combined daily output of Dip is sufficient to make 200,000 gallons of antiseptic solution."
