Horace Greeley used to say that the
man who worked with his head and his
hands together could do twice as much
work as the man who worked only with
his hands.
You women who wash clothes, think
that over.
Want to make your head save your
hands1
Then study the question of soap. Try
Fels-Naptha in lukewarm water.
Fels-Naptha actually does the work of
cleansing; doesn't leave it for you to do
with hard-rubbing.
Fels-Naptha takes the dirt out without
boiling. Does it better, too.
Fels-Naptha makes your washing twice
as easy and takes only half the time of the
old way. Not only the white clothes but
the woolens, hannels, colored things.
Don't take our sayso. Try it for
yourself. But be sure to get the genuine
Fels-Naptha, be sure to use only lukewarm
water (never hot), and be sure to follow
directions on the red and green wrapper.
You won't be using your head if you
don't do these things.
