No Soap Shrunken Flannels The woolen season is with us again. Every housekeeper knows what's in store for her, if she uses yellow rosin soap for washing. The woolens and flannels shrink and pucker up alarmingly small. Don't let your household suffer this winter from uncomfortable underwear. Try the Taylor way of washing and keep woolens their origi- nal size. ey Borax: Soap N washes woolens without shrinking, and brings them out fresh, clean and free from any "soapy smell." It is not necessary to boil the clothes --you don't even have to rub them, except very soiled spots. The borax softens the water, so less soap is required. It purifies and sweetens, and leaves the hands soft and white. At All Dealers-- C John Taylor &Co.
