How to Keep Summer
Clothes Looking New
All Summer

Nashday has a great deal to DO with
The length OF time white clothes re-
yain their freshness and ncwne::;;;
Clothes that are constantly boiled VIII
have the fbrcs weakened and quickly
take on a "boilcd out" thoroughly
worn appearance.
Hard rubbing, too, shortens the HE
oi dainty apparel But neither hard
rubbing nor boiling is necessary.
The best way to wash summer clothes
is to use Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water. There's no boiling
necessary, and only the slig BIT
of rubbing. You'll be surprised how
long your clothes retain their fresh
rcss when you wash them the
Fels-Naptha way.
Directions for washing are simple
and are printed inside the faniilaf
red and green wrapper.
