What are clothes made Of?
Wool, cotton or linen, animal or
vegetable fibre.
What does boiling or scalding do to
them?
Makes them tender just as it does meat
or vegetables.
What does hard rubbing on a wash
board do to them?
Wears them into holes before their time.
Are you abusing your clothes like that

Burning up fuel and working like a

There's far better way to get clean

Let Fels-Naptha soap take the dirt out

Follow them carefully.
