TheIbig, heavy things
 soaked clean with this new product

IF your whole weeks washing consisted k of handkerchiefs and tea napkins, Mon- day would never have become the day of drudgery that it is. It's the big, bulky, hard-to-handle things that have made washing such dreaded task.
 There are the sheets. The bedspreads that never show how gray and dingy they are till you actually get them in the tubs. And the bath towels and bath mats soiled from lying on the bathroom floor. These are the things that make you hate washday. The new way of washing makes these heavy things almost as easy to launder as the handkerchiefs
 You just soak them clean with Rnso- the new form of soap in fine granules. <: Rinso is made of finer quality ingredients than ever were used before in a soap for
Norwich bulletin., 1921-05-05

the family washing. Tn these pure, mild studs your clothes soak as safely as in water alone. For Rinso IS so harmless 1t does not even redden your hands. Z
 Soak your clothes overnight in tub of Rinso suds. In the morning thorough rinsing carries off all the dirt, leaving the clothes spotlessly clean.
 Rinso softens hard water. Where hard water is used make an increased amount of the "soap liquid" according to directions on the package, and continue adding it to your tub of cold water until you have q good rich suds.
 Start using Rinso next Monday. Use it for allyour clothes except the dainty things you always wash with Lux. Get package from your grocer or any department store. Lever Bros. Co.,, Cambridge, Mass.
