Four women, all told
The first told how much easier it was to wash with Pearline.
She saved half her labor, and the work was better done.
The second told how much longer the clothes lasted, since
she'd used Pearline. The rubbing that wore them out wasn't
necessary.
The next told how many things she did with it ; she
washed the kitchen floor, or the finest china the most deli
cate lace, or the coarsest fabric. Whatever she'did with it,
she saved money by it.
The fourth told of the harmlessness of Pearline. She
had used it for ten years, and she knew nothing that was
washable could be hurt by it.
These are only four out of millions who use Pearline, but
the others say the same things and more. Try it yourself;
then you can tell about it.
