(the same way ihe movies do
"T DO have more pretty clothes now,
X though I don't spend any more than
I used to. The reason is, I've discovered
how to keep everything I wear like new so
much longer. Instead of spending all my
money just to replace things that look
old and shabhy too quickly, now I can
buy extra clothes.
"I learned the secret by reading about
the movies how they keep screen clothes
just like new twice as long by always
washing them in Lux. Since then, I've
used Lux for all my things stockings,
undies, gloves, sweaters, dresses.
"It,'s perfectly marvelous what a differ
ence this makes. All my clothes look like
new so much longer. Now, I don't have
to spend every cent just replacing worn
outs. I can ajjord luxuries."
