Soap: It's not only distinct from other
soaps in name but different in action.
Most soaps have the distinction with
out the difference.
But Fels-Naptha is different in this
It's totally new way of washing.
Fels- Naptha is the only soap that will
satisfactorily wash clothes in cool or luke
warm water, without boiling or hard
rubbing.
That's the difference.
No boiling r scalding clothes to
weaken them, no back-breaking rubbing
over nauseous hot sudS
Washing done in one-half the time
with one-fourth the labor; clothes last
longer and are cleaner and sweeter than any
other method of washing will make them.
