Here. 5 the easiest way that ever been
discovered to wash clothes-either in sum-
mer or winter.
For the white things: Wet the clothes.
soap we'll with Fels-Naptha, roll and let
soak for thirty minutes in cool or lukewarm
water. Uproll, rub lightly, rinse and hang
out to dry.
That's all; no boiling, no hard rub
bing, no hot water.
This simple Fels-Naptha way of wash
ing makes your clothes sweeter, whittier.
cleaner than you can get them any other
way.
And the clothes last longer because
they are not weakened by boiling, nor
worn by hard rubbing.
Worth trying1
1t is for the woman who values her
clothes, her time and herself.
For washing colored clothes and other
things, see plain directions on the red and
green wrapper.
