Opinion of the Court

Opinion by

Oliver, C. J.

At the trial, it was agreed that the merchandise “does not contain alcohol,” and the testimony of two witnesses showed that the product in question has been used exclusively over a long period of years by laundries and dry-cleaning establishments for cleaning clothes. The uncontra-dicted evidence establishing that the merchandise contains no alcohol and is used solely for cleaning, the claim of the plaintiff was sustained.
