Here are two ways Of washing.
Choose for yourself:
The Old Way. Get up at 5 o'clock.
Make hot fire, fill the washboiler and get it
boiling. Wet your white clothes, soap
them and put them into the boiler When
they're boiled good and tender, rub them
hard on the dashboard, meanwhile putting
others in to boil. Keep the fire good and
hot. 1t will fill the house with nauseous
steam but that's necessary in this kind of
washing. When noon comes, if the smell
of boiling clothes hasn't taken your appe-
tite, snatch bite of cold lunch. When
you have the clothes boiIed and rubbed
sufficiently, wiring them out, 60 from the
steaming hot room into the cool air out
side and hang them on the line. You'll
likely catch cold, but it must be done.
g The New Way. Get up at o'clock
summer and winter. Wet all your clothes,
soap well with Fels-Naptha and let them
soak in cool or lukewarm water for
80 minutes. Then rub lightly, riDse well
and hang out to dry. That's all. And your
clothes will be cleaner, whittier and purer
than you could get them in any other way.
The whole washing takes only few hours.
Which way sounds best to you?
In using Fels-Naptha, follow simple
directions printed on the red and green
wrapper.
