The MODERN yC)AP PRODUCT I
Not soap POWDER not clipped soap mot

Think what it means to you to have
at last found something which will
launder your most delicate garments
even fine laces! Lux won't harm any
thing that pure water alone will not
injure.
Try Lux just once!

to have it tested on some of your finest
articles lace curtains! rich table linen!

For fine laundering, you should never
rub soap directly on a delicate article.
For this purpose try Lux. 1t is the
modern form Of soap-not soap pow
der-not a Clipped soap-not a cake,
but fine, transparent flakes of pure
essence of soap.
Why Lux is SO good for fine laundering
The Lux flakes dissolve instantly in
hot water, making a rich, creamy
lather in moment, and so completely
soluble are they, that not particle Of
the soap is left in the garment to yellow
it. And you don't have to do the
slightest rubbing to get the dirt out.
