What is that drudgery7
You know.
Boiling clothes, making fires, hard

Fels-Naptha lops it all off, takes it
out of your washday program.
Fels-Naptha itself does all the work
that you yourself would have to do in the
roundabout way, summer or winter.
And it does it in cool or lukewarm
water, without hot fire, without nauseous
