Lenox Soap
And Warm Water


Soap is intended to do
but one thing---to loosen
dirt, so ;t can be removed
by water.
Warm water helps soap
do what it is intended to
do. In warm water, soap
dissolves perfectly so
that every particle in it
does its share of the work
of cleaning.
The ideal combination
for laundry work is a high
grade soap like LenoX
and a plentiful supply OF
clean, warm water.
Lenox soap and warm
water remove dirt with
out unnecessary la bor
and they do not injure
the clothes. Many soaps
especially those t or
which eXtravagant claims
are made--contaln strong
chemicals. BY their use
housekeepers can save a
few minutes time, but it
is at the expense of the
clothes
