Ndphtha Soap.

The first thing you notice,
when you unwrap cake of
Pa G. Naphtha Soap is the
color of it-white.
That shows there is no
rosin in it.
Most naphtha soaps are
yellow-they contain rosin.
There is a saying among
soap manufacturers to the
effect that 5 per cent. rosin in
soap is all right; more than
s per cent. is all wrong.
Some naphtha soaps con-
tain as much as 2S26 rosin.
Do you know why? Rosin
is cheap. That is why.
And so we offer this advice:
Never buy any other than a
white naPhtha soap.
P. & G. Naphtha Soap is
white-there is no rosin in it.
5 cents a cake;
worth more.
