1t loosens all kinds of grease quick as a
wink, and takes out every trace of the spot.
That's why butchers, and painters,
and machinists clothing can be washed
better with FelS-Naptha than any otherway.
It's easier, too; in summer or winter,
requires no boiling, hot water nor hard
rubbing, and makes better job of it
Because Fels-Naptha dissolves grease
almost instantly, women who have tried it
prefer Fels-Naprha to any other soap for
washing dishes.
There is no necessity for putting the

1t is likewise superior in cleaning coats,
OF rugs, or curtains, or anything else that
has become spotted or soiled.
In fact, you will find that anything
cleanable can be cleaned quicker and better
and easier with Fels-Naptha.
And for laundry purposes, Fels-Naptha
is a revelation to women who have always
