| Moment
Of the hours of backbreaking work
|i before the family wash is on the line—the

and washing powders, the offensive odor
penetrating the whole house—Precious ||
time wasted that could be utilized in
|! pleasanter and more important duties. ||

% wash day in your home by sending your ||
work to the

where your clothes will be washd and fin- ||
ished, or rough dried with less wear and

for a month and be convinced of the time
saving, money saving, health protection it
means to the whole family to get rid of
