It's hard getting through
with your washing and clean
ing, if you don't use Pearl
inc. And you can use it,
with great gain, upon any,
thing that you want made
clean. In washing clothes,
perhaps you won believe that
Pearline is harmless. 1t has
been proved so to millions of
women, over and over again,
but perhaps you won't be con-
WINGED. Then use it for some
thing that can't be hurt. Use
it for washing dishes, for
instance, and save work.
When you come to know it
better and let it wash the
clothes, you'll find that it
saves the wear and tear as
we'll as the work.
Beware OF limitations. Sas JAMES PYLE,N.Y.
