First, let's drop in on the Dozen family. Uh-oh. Daisy Do's all excited again. P, we've got a public speaker in the family. You mean ma? No, me. I just want our home economics class debate. Aren't you proud, P? Indeed I am, daughter. Look, P, we resolve that wash day can be easy. I have the affirmative. I said teachers, classmates, wash day can be easy with does. It's a new kind of soap and ma says does everything in our wash. Nice short speech, Daisy. That's just the beginning. P. I said, "Does does overalls, towels, rayons, everything." Then I looked at my opponent, that's true, and I said, "My opponent will say scrubbing's hard work." She's right. But Do gets the dirtiest overalls clean without hard scrubbing. My ma says you don't have to bother with the bar soap anymore because Doz does the job all by itself. You sound just like your ma, Daisy. And Trude got red to beat. She was so jealous. Then I said, "Do gets towels really white. It's famous for sparkling white washes." Then I paused. Poor breath. No, all speakers pause. And then I said, "Do gives longer life to the pretty colors you wash. Yet it can't be beat for getting dirty clothes clean. Therefore, for easy wash days, get does." They clap. P. Even Trude. No, she busted out crying. So teacher said I won. G P does is grand. Yep. Does does everything. Well, P does does everything in the wash anyway. Why? Compared to other leading granulated wash day soaps, does gives longer life to colors, plus unsurpassed whiteness and real cleaning power for the dirtiest clothes.
