THAT'S good comparison for
washing fine silks and woolensin
hot water. They were never made
TO stand such treatment. Perhaps
you think there's no other way
TO get them clean. Then you've
never tried White King Granu-
lated Soap.
White King is made from the
finest vegetable and nut oils
pure enough TO eat. You'll find
that it doesn't need hot water TO
produce rich, creamy suds, thor
ough cleansing and swift rinsing.
Wash your fine fabrics in luke
warm water. Ii will add years TO
their lives and at the same time
spare your hands from hot-water
irritation.
White King Granulated Soap
fills every household need. It's
economical too. A teaspoonful
for the wash basin, cupful for
the washing machine-plenty,
even in Kansas hard water. Try
il. Sold by grocers everywhere.
