WHAT HAVE
VEGETABLES
GOT
rs DO WITH IT7

A SENSIBLE QUESTION. You well
may wonder why we keep talk
ing about vegetable oils in con-
necrion with White King. The
answer is this: a bare soap made
from vegetable oils instead of
mineral or animal oils, is tbe
gentlen kiudess yet most efee-
Hpe so9t that can be produced.
And White King is the lead
ing yegetable-oil soap. That's
why. you can trust your sheerest
lingerie TO it. That's why beauty
parlors use il for shampooing.
And that's why il cleans blankets
and heavy clothing so thoroughly.
White King Granulated Soap
is economical. too, because it is
condensed. A teaspoonful for the
basin, q cupful for the washing
machine-plenty. Try it today.
