Little Bo-Peep washes her sheep With Fels-Naptha and cool water, That’s why they’re quite so snowy white As they come trailing after. Remember this about Fels-Naptha ‘Soap: It’s not only distinct from other , soaps in name but different in action. Most soaps have the distinction with- ; out the difference. But Fels-Naptha is different in this— it’s a totally new way of washing. Fels-Naptha is the only soap that will satisfactorily wash clothes in cool or luke- warm water, without boiling or, hard rubbing. That’s the difference. No boiling or scalding clothes to *weaken them, no back-breaking rubbing over nauseous hot suds. Washing done in one-half the time with one-fourth the labor; clothes last longer and are cleaner and sweeter than any other method of washing will make them. Do you prefer the different way? You will when you’ve tried it. In using Fels-Naptha Soap in Winter <or Summer, follow directions on the Ted and green wrapper.
