It isn't easy to get all the ingredients necessary to make Fels-Naptha preeminent among fine laundry soaps. And that's only half the story. Now, a larger share of our stock of materials and our manufacturing facilities must be used to make good soap for men and women in active service. Obviously, this will mean some further inconvenience for civilians. In the months ahead, you may have to wait more often for the familiar Fels-Naptha wrapper to appear on your grocer's shelf . . but the soap inside the Fels-Naptha wrapper will be Fels-Naptha Soap.
