When you rinse out your clothes the dirt floats right off. Only the very dirtiest places will nced a light rubbing with a little dry Rinso. Then even these spots disappear at once. Whichever way you wash— Rinso makes it easier You do not have to change any of your usual steps — just use Rinso where you used to use bat soap. It makes every washday method easier. For soaking, for boiling, for washing machines Rinso is ideal-——the only soap you need. Rinso is made by the makers of Lux, the largest soapmakers in the world. Just as Lux has made all fine laundering safe and easy, so Rinso has taken all the harmful rubbing and drudgery out of the family wash. Get Rinso today at any grocery or department store.
