That is 208 million hours, or 26 mil- ion working days of 8 hours each every year. Isn't that a record for Fels-Naptha to be proud of? Then there’s the saving in health, in the wear of clothes, and in lots of other ways as well. More thana mil- lion women are using Fels-Naptha every | wash-day. It takes Fels-Naptha in cold or fukewarm water about half the time it would take by the old-fashioned hot-water way. Try it next wash-day yourself.
