Boil until tender is what all the

Boiling makes most anything tender,
even hard wood.
And that's precisely what boiling does
to your clothes.
Makes the fibre tender. Then you
wonder why your clothes tear so easily and

How else will you get your clothes
clean?
Fels-Naptha dissolves and loosens the
dirt in cool or lukewarm water, without
hard rubbing.
No hot water, no boiling, in summer
or winter.
It's such an easy way Of washing;
makes the clothes cleaner, whittier and purer
and they wear twice as long.
