Fels Naphtha soap? Wow, I haven't even heard of that since i was a young kid.
(Late 40's) Dad hung an old shower with a circular curtain rail over a floor
drain in our basement. As it was next to moms washing machine (wringer type)
we kids used Fels Naphtha as our shower soap. We all lived so I guess it
didn't hurt us, but we were the cleanest kids on the block!!


Lehman's still sells it:

And they will also sell you an old-school butter churn but old-school is
not for everyone.

But if you are driving (your buggy?) through Amish country in Ohio it is
worth spending a few hours at Lehman's. And then go down to Heini's Cheese
Chalet for something to snack on...
