The best way is not to boil your clothes, but to wash them with Fels-Naptha in cool or lukewarm water. FelsNaptha sets the coors instead of fading them, besides making the clothes wear longer.

There are cheaper laundry soaps than FelS- -Naptha but no other so economical Sounds odd, doesn't it1
 But it's true.
 Fels-Naptha Is more economical be- cause 1t saves time, saves work, saves the cost of fuel and makes your clothes wear twice as long.
 Fels-Naptha cleans your clothes in cool or lukcwarm water in summer or winter without boiling or hot water to weaken their fabric, and without hard rubbing to wear them into holes.
 It takes half as long and requires much less work than the old way.
 Try 1t next washday.
 See how white, and clean, and sweet Fels-Naptha makes your clothes.
 Follow carefully the directions on the red and green wrapper.
