"'P and G gets dirt...leaves no soapy smell,' says Mrs. Walter Stauffacher.
"See Barbara Ann, in the picture above. She's two years old and owns 20 dresses! And can she get them dirty! Her mother, Mrs, Walter Stauffacher of Monroe, Wisconsin, says: 'Thank goodness P&G is my standby. It doesn't fade Barbara Ann's dresses a mite, but it certainly goes after dirt.'
"Mrs. Stauffacher lives on a dairy farm, so she knows what a real wash is. She says, 'For really dirty things -- like my husband's and the hired man's work clothes -- nothing can beat P&G. It saves me a pile of rubbing. It soaks even the grimy hand towels snowy.
"'And P&G works so fast. I don't have to rub to get the soap rinsed out. I love the fresh smell P&G leaves in clothes.'
"Have you tried P&G lately? Have you noticed how easy it is on your hands? That big glossy white cake is sudsier than ever, too, and won't turn hard and flinty. It 'keeps' for months without getting the hard sharp edges that are hard on clothes. P&G is a fine white soap at a very low price. And if you buy a dozen cakes for your dishes and laundry, the last will be as sudsy as the first."
At the bottom: "The White Naphtha Soap".
