that's in Fels-N aptha soap, and won't wash clothes
the Fels-Naptha way Here's where quit trading
with you"
We are sometimes asked by housewives
if Fels-Naptha soap is as good for washing
clothes in winter as in summer. Better, II
that is possible.
The best thing about Fels-Naptha is that
YOU don't have to boil the clothes either
winter or summer. And because boiling, is
more disagreeable in winter, Fels-Naptha
is a greater blessing then. In the winter
doors and windows are closed, and the
nauseous odor of boiling clothes cannot
escape to the open air; then, too, steam
loosens and wrinkles wall paper. And
chapped hands are caused by dipping them
in hot water and then exposing to the cold.
You don't need hot water in washing
with Fels-Naptha. But be sure and use It
the Fels-Naptha way. Follow the d1rec-
tons on the red and green wrapper.
