"The people must knew through

A BOON TO JEWISH
HOUSEWIVES .:.
KOSHER SUDS THAT
GIVE ABSOLUTELY
GREASELESS
DISHWASHING!
H. I. HEINZ CO.

introduces the New Miro,
cis Suds-SWERL-in The
Big Green Box! Result of
7 Years Of Scientific Re-
search 1

Jewish women have often
longed for a Kosher prod-
uct which would permit

them to wash dishes the
twentieth century way .
in a dishpan of bubbling
suds. The dream has come
true! H. J. Heinz Co., the
makers of the 57 Varieties,
have introduced SWERL,
The Magic Suds that took
seven years of careful

scientific work to perfect.
Besides being Kosher
and pareve, SWERL is a
boon to Jewish housewives
in many other ways. It
makes greaseless dish-
washing possible. N o
grease in the pan, on the
dish cloth or on the dishes
or utensils ! Hands feel
smooth and soft after us-
ing SWERL. An amazing
product!
SWERL comes in a giant
green package, giving the
housewife more for her
money. And it costs less-
54' to ack less - than any
other suds of this type on

the market.

Not only does SWERL
serve for Kosher dishwash-
ing. It is the finest suds for

nylons, silks, woolens and
other delicate fabrics. The
absence of grease film pro-
teeth the brightness and
the colors.
This remarkable product
is Kosher - absolutely Ko-
sher and pareve. In the
lower left hand corner of
the box is the 0 seal of
approval of the UNION.
OF ORTHODOX JEW-
ISH CONGREGATIONS
OF AMERICA...the same
0 seal that you find on the
labels of Heinz Kosher
