So easy, says every woman, after her
first trial of the Fcls-Naptha way Of washing.
And 50 quick, and such clean, sweet
smelling batch of clothesl
And that, too, without boiling or
scalding hot water!
And no back-breaking work on the
wash-board!
And yet, perhaps that same delighted
woman had been going to try Fels-Naptha
almost every washday for years before she
actually did. For some reason or other
(which is no reason at all she kept on
working the old-fashioned, out-of-date way
until sudden impulse determined her to
try Fels-Naptha. And then ever after
wards easy washdays.
Be sure and use Fels-Naptha t.
