Cotton s packing waste has heen waste for prohibited imports in 14 year old girl does family wash “I got clothes whiter than mother ever did — with much less work” HEN my mother was sick, I had to do all the housework. The woman who lives upstairs told me to use Rinso so that I wouldn't need to worry about the wash. She said, “Just soak all the clothes in Rinso suds and you won't have any hard rubbing to do.” So on Monday I did just as she told me, and the clothes came out beauti- fully. Mother said they were whiter and cleaner than she ever got them with her hours of rubbing! Even badly soiled spots got snowy white after a tiny rub between my fingers. I had no hard work at all. Now mother always uses this new granulated soap instead of bar soap. Mother's hands are never red or rough any more. And she savs the clothes last longer, too, because there’s no ubbing against a board.
