Did you ever think Of the difference

Did you ever think of the difference
between washing and cleaningr
You can wash with any kind of soap
in any kind of water, hot or cold.
You can boil clothes and rub them on,
a washboard until your back aches.
All that is washing.
But it isn't always cleaning.
Most soaps are Just washing soaps
They furnish little lather and let you
do the work.
Fels-Naptha is a cleaning soap.
1t works all by itself in cool or luke
warm water, saving all the trouble and dis
comfort of boiling and hot suds.
Fels-Naptha Soap cleans your clothes.
II really reaches the dirt and dissolves
it
1t does this while the soaped clothes
are soaking in cool or hkewarm water,
while you are thinking of something else
or resting.
When Fels-Naptha Soap gets through
with them-thirty minutes or so is long
enough-you rub lightly, rinse the clothes
and they're cleaner, sweeter and winter
than you could get them by washing all
day in the old-fashioned manner.
You'll find directions for using
Fels-Naptha printed on the back Of the
red and green wrapper.
