Just sprinkle Grandma in the tub and then, like
white magic millions of glorious suds in an instant.
It's wonderful how Grandma does the work. It
makes no difference if the water is hard, soft, hot or
cold, the result is always the same. Grandma is the
greatest “all round’’ household soap of the age—it’s
powdered. No chipping or slicing. No whole bars
