Just think! This snowy wash never touched a Washb0ard
 it was just soaked qvhiter!

Now you don't even need to boil the wash. Rinso whitens and sterilizes with out boiling. And it's so safe. Contains no acids, bleaches or harmful chemicals.
 See for yourself, next washday, how a tubful of rich Rinso suds soaks your wash spotless. It's all you need-no bar soaps, chips or powders.
 Get Rinso from your grocer. For econ omy and best results follow the easy directions on the package.
 In washing machines, too
 Rinso is great for washers. The makers of 30 leading machines recon. mend it for safety, and for a winter, brighter wash.-Lepcr Bros. Co.
