makes greaseless dish-
washing possible. No
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!
SWERLcomes in a giant
green package, giving the
housewife more for her
money. And it costs less
per package than other
suds of this type on the
market. •
Not only does Swerl
servetor Kosher dishwash-
ing. It is the finest suds for
nylons, silks, woolens and
other delicate fabrics. The
absence of grease film pro-
tects the brightness and
the colors.
This remarkable product

sher and pareve. In the
lower left hand corner of
the box is the © seal of
