Frequent condi- tioning of bags with Saddle Soap will clean, polish and condition the bag, as well as maintain a good appearance. Clean bags will also save clothing. -.J ... Two simple steps are suggested for cleaning and conditioning a bag with Saddle Soap. 1. Use a shoe polish applicator brush and apply in sidewise strokes, leaving streaks or lines of Saddle Soap all over the bag. 2. Use a cloth such as cheese cloth, and rub in circular motion. If a bag is kept clean, the same cloth can be used over and over and will work better after it has absorbed some Saddle Soap. Neither applicator brushes nor Saddle Soap will be available from Poughkeepsie. Branch offices should purchase them locally. * * * * (over) =======IBM = = = = = = = E. T.
