Most labor-savers cost money.

A new-fangled washer, an electric sad
iron or gas range mean you have to pay
ont good sum to start with.
But Fels-Naptha Soap will save you
more work than all these other things put
together and it costs no more than other
soaps.
Labor-saving and economy are COM
bined in Fels-Naptha.
.ss And labor is not the only thing saved.
When you wash with Fels-Naptha Soap
the Fels-Naptha way, in cool or lukewarm
water, it saves the clothes.
s No boiling to soften them; no hard
rubbing TO wear them out.
I They last twice as long.
No matter how big the washing is, it
doesn't take half as long as if you boiled
and hard-rubbed the clothes.
They'll be sweeter, whittier and cleaner.
Isn't it worth uying1
Be sure and use cool or lukewarm
water in Winter or Summer-no boiling
according to directions on the red and
green wrapper.
