In the Sailor's Home,

in busy port and fishing village, Puritan ' Soap has always
been an ever-welcome guest.
Alike here and in thousands of other happy homes Puntan
Soap is welcomed and loved because it IS so gentle in use
-so tender to the clothes. so pleasant to the hands that use it.

Puritan Soap is gentle because it contains olive oil-sweet
olive all of nature's own giVlOg.
It is the olive oil in Puritan Soap which saves the clothes
from wash day wear and tear, and makes them. like itself,
sweet, pure and fragrant.
That IS why so many houseWives say qUite truly that
Puntan Soap saves its cost every week 10 the clothes it saves.
