One Way to Overcome
Rising Cost Of
Clothes

Be careful that clothes get no
extra wear on washday. Boiling
or hard rubbing wears out fab
RIGS far quicker than daily use
destroys their newness and short
ems their lives.
Wash with Fels-Naptha soap in
cool or lukewarm water. It
makes boiling unnecessary and
does away with hard rubbing.
There's no weakening of fabrics,
no starting of holes-and the
map" of the garment is not
destroyed.
It's real economy to wash with
Fels-Naptha. Not only DO you
save clothes for longer wear, but
you save time, effort and discom-
fort for yourself.
