THE VERMONT PHOENIX, BRATTLEBORO, FRIDAY, AUGUST 18, 1899. 6 When the children's best clothes come from the -wash with the colors faded and streaked, and with worn spots showing in places where there should be no wear, then you may know that your laundress is using some thing besides Ivory Soap. You can save trouble and expense by furnishing her with Ivory Soap, and insisting that she use it and noth ing else. The price of one ruined garment will buy Ivory Soap sufficient for months.
