and other metafas of the platinum
group in Alaska in 1913 is estimated

ij: Our telephone tinkled a few days ago. We
iji lifted the receiver and a lady-like voice drifted
jij to us over the wire.
jjj “I’ve been reading your advertising”, it said,
iji “but I’ve been told you use chemicals. And
jij —well, I’d like to send you my washing, only
jjj I’m afraid those chemicals would ruin my
jjj clothes. Do you actually use chemical?, in
jij washing?”
jjj You will be interested in knowing what we
iji informed her. It was this:
jij Like the goblins that in our childhood days
iji lurked around the comer, the “chemicals” that
iji laundries use have been imagined by many
jij housewives to be fearsome things—and most
jjj certainly never to be used on the family wash,
iji The words “chemical” and “harmful” have been
ij: thought of as having one and the same sinister
jij meaning. *
iji We suffer from a misunderstanding of the
iji term “chemical”, for we live on “chemicals"—
on some of the very same “chemicals” that
help clean our clothes. The water we drink,
iji for instance, is a chemical compound of the
gases oxygen and hydrogen. We breathe air
jji that is a chemical mix
ture of oxygen, nitro
gen and inert gases.
Everything we wear
and use is "chemical”,
only most of us have
n’t appreciated it here
tofore.
N o work can be done
without the assistance
of “chemicals” in some form. These helpful ig’
“chemicals” are friendly “chemicals”. gi
In common with those of the housewife, our gi
friendly “chemicals” are sours, a mild soda, ig
Javelle Water, chipped soap, and pure soft ig
water. gi
Consider these. gi
In tho dressing served with your salad is a gi
higher concentration of free acid than will be gi
found in our sours. ig
Everyone has eaten more excess soda ash in ig
biscuits than is commonly used on the fam- gi
ily washing in the laundry. ig
The snowy whiteness which you secure with ig
bleaches is obtained by us with an even milder ig
preparation—Javelle Water. It was this same gi
Javelle Water that was so helpful during the gi
war in purifying wounds. ig
But these materials are only incidental in our ig
laundry. Our principal “chemical” and real gi
cleansing agent is pure, soft water. This water gi
in which your clothes are washed by us is
changed as many as from nine to twelve times gi
in the washing process. It is this soft water, ig
with creamy suds, that gives to our laundry ig
work its characteristic ig
beautiful appearance.
The sum of our meth
ods is clothes conser
vation.
Visit us and be en
lightened. You will find
us well qualified to
take over the burden of
your family washing.
