A Boraxo soap dispenser as seen in old gas stations and restrooms along Route 66. I already have a Crown paper towel dispenser all I need now is a rust stained toilet. I think I have some Boraxo soap product around here someplace. Boraxo is a Borax product which is made in the town of Boron in the Mojave Desert. This was mined in Death Valley and then taken to the not so near town of Boron which is in the middle of nowhere but closer to somewhere than Death Valley. As one who lives in the San Berardino Mountains which is the border of the Mojave Desert this is sort of a local item.
Used to have these at the Quincy shipyard back in the 70's. Very good at taking off the Grime!! Thanks for the memories!!
