If you hired a girl to do the washing,
you wouldn't do it yourself while she sat
in the parlor, would you? That would
be ridiculous
Then, when you get a cake Of
Fels-Naptha soap, use it the Fels-Naptha
way and let it do the work. If you use
Fels-Naptha as you would other soaps, you
are like the woman who does the work
herself while her hired girl plays the piano.
A woman who uses Fes- Naptha as if it
were just soap, instead of a new way of
washing, is misguided or foolish.
The directions on the wrapper are plain:
Use els-Naptha in cold or lukewarm
water, with no boiling and no hard rub
bing. That's why els-Naptha was in
vented, to do away with boiling and hard
rubbing, save fuel, save health, save time
and save the clothes. Make Fels-Naptha

piano. Follow the directions on the red
