soap Into Europe When
God rev’s little band of Crusaders
successfully stormed the walls of
the Holy City in 1099 they found
a people who had long enjoyed
the health and comfort of fre

All this was new to the Crusaders
but not for long When they re-
turned home they carried the
oriental soaps as part of the regu-
lation uniform
Soap became an industry when
the Church of England approved
it and with this approval the
Crowns of England and France
began to manufacture the pro-
duct For sometime only the
rich could use and buy the prec-
ious material
The first significant step taken
to popularize' soap was by the
Duke of Orleans who offered a

Tha chief diet of the- natives
