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-

it and with this approval the
Crowns of England and France
began to manufacture the pro-

rich could use and buy the prec-

to ixipularize'soap was hy the
