A FUNNY INCIDENT
And so these mules from place to place,Did wander in and out,Adventures meeting everywhere,With laughter and with shout;Suppressing filth and doing goodTo all they chanced to meet,Except of course the grimy Imps,Who always met defeat.One day these warriors chanced uponA dirty, ill-kept mule,Out in a pasture all alone,Which plot he seemed to rule.“We’ll clean him up!” the Captain said.“He needs a good shampoo;And so we’ll show him for his good,What Borax wash will do!”They drenched him to the skin, and thenThey rubbed him all around,Until the lather rose like wool,And trickled to the ground.The mules declared he looked just likeA great big wooly sheep.They laughed so hard they almost died,And salty tears did weep!And then they ducked him in a pond,And rinsed the lather out;And out he came a cleanly mule,And better mule, no doubt.And so this story we will end,With three good hearty cheersFor Borax and the twenty mules,And forty waving ears!

Everyone who values cleanliness and sweetness should use Borax. In the toilet, bath, laundry, in every cleansing process of the home Borax should be used. It doubles the power of soap and water to cleanse and purify. You will be astonished to see how much easier and cleaner you can wash things by adding a little Borax to the water. But be careful to get Pure Borax as imitations are worthless and often injurious. Ask for “20-MULE-TEAM BRAND.”It’s Pure.
