Soap made of pure materials combined in such a way that it has more cleansing power than soap has ever had before. This new kind of soap gently soaks loose the most ground-in dirt without weakening a single thread. Rinso dissolves completely and almost at once in boiling water. It gives such soapy water, such bi lasting suds that soaking does almost all the worl instead of a small part of it. Even the worst soiled spots need but a light rubbing with dry Rinso. Rinso soaks clothes so clean that boiling isn’t neces- sary. But if you like to boil your white cottons see what a difference it makes in your boiler. If you have a washing machine help it do its best work by using Rinso in it. Rinso takes-the place of bar soap at every step of the family wash. i Rinso is made by the largest soap makers in the world. Get Rinso today at grocery and department stores. Lever Bros.
