Through Louise. “‘Of course not!’ she said. ‘I use Lux.’” That is typical of the way the story of Lux is carried from one woman to another.

Wonderful? Indeed it is, and Lux is every bit as easy to use as it sounds. “That's the beauty of Lux,” women say. “It's so easy.” Fabrics have been becoming sheerer and sheerer every year. Women have been learning to wear daintier and daintier things for everyday use. And oh, the care and expense of such things till Lux came to make them really practical and inexpensive. No need to send your dainty things to the cleaners. Anything that pure water won't injure, Lux will make new for you in a few minutes. It isn’t washing that hurts sheer fabrics. It's rubbing soap on them and rubbing them again to get the soap and dirt out, that wears and tears them—takes away their finish with the first washing.
