Removable Slat Blind Features Quick
And Easy Cleaning
With the removable slat blind, slats can be easily and completely
reipoved, and as easily replaced, without removing blinds from the
windows or in any way disturbing the rest of the arrangement.
The year in and year out prob
lem of an easy way of cleaning
Venetian blinds has been answer
ed with a new type blind having
removable slats for quick and
ready cleaning. It is known as
the Walker Removable Slat blind,
developed by Col. Brooks Walk
er, for many years associated
with the lumber industry, and
who during the war was with the
U.S. Army Ordnance department.
The blind employs notched or
slotted slats, two notches to a
slat, these being on opposite
sides. Through this arrangement
the cord holds the slats as firm
ly and permits them to be adjust
ed as easily as in the ordinary
blind construction, but since the
• cord is not run through them, the
slats can be easily removed.
The slats can then be washed
with soap and water, if the finish
is waterproof, or they can be
thoroughly dusted and polished,
waxed, or cleaned with any wood
work cleaner.
This new blind has two other
good features. One is that the
newer arrangement of the cord
permits a complete closure of the
blind, which could not be obtain
ed formerly. The other is that
the slats themselves are stronger
since the customary holes in the
center of the slats have been re
placed by small edge slots which
have less tendency to weaken th^
slats.
A number of the country's
largest manufacturers are now
making the patented blinds with
removable slats of wood, steel
and aluminum, and they are al
ready finding their way into fur
niture and department stores and
other retail outlets throughout
the country.
