SUNNY
MONDAYS


There is not an ounce of ro-
sin in Sunny Monday Laun-
dry Soap. Rosin is used in
all other laundry 'soaps-be-
cause it is cheaper than the
fats and oils used in Sunny
Monday. Sunny Monday costs more
to manufacture than any other laundry
soap of which we know. It is kind to
clothes-will not shrink Aannels or
woolens, or turn clothes yellow.
Sunny Monday is just as pure as
its wilderness indicates; it is the safest
and most economical laundry soap
you can use.
