75% OF HOUSEWIVES
 SOAK EVERYDAY CLOTHES

{. What does soaking mean to you? Three out of every four housewives always loosen the dirt by letting the clothes soak before they start washing.
 With the ordinary soaps, this helped little but there was still a lot of rubbing to be done. NRinso. an entirely new kind of soap. loosens and dissolves every bit of dirt, without the slightest injury to the clothes. Soak your Aclothes an hour or more m Rinso and the dirt rinses right aout, all but the most stubborn places and those need only a light rubbing.
 S Rinso is the only soap you need for the entire regular fam ily. wash. You don't need any other soap-nor any washing powder with Rinso. Women who lre using 1t say their clothes are. ,potless and last longer.
