g Our telephone tinkled a few days ago. We
g lifted the receiver and a lady-like voice drifted
to us over the wire.
g “I’ve been reading your advertising”, it said,
g “but I’ve been told you use chemicals. And
—well, I’d like to send you my washing, only
g I’m afraid those chemicals would ruin my
g clothes. Do you actually use chemical?, in
:•:• washing?”
g You will be interested in knowing what we
g informed her. It was this:
g Like the goblins that in our childhood days
g lurked around the corner, the “chemicals” that
£ laundries use have been imagined by many
g’ housewives to be fearsome things— and most
g certainly never to be used on the family wash,
g The words “chemical” and “harmful” have been
g thought of as having one and the same sinister
g meaning. r
g We suffer from a misunderstanding of the
g term “chemical”, for we live on “chemicals”—
g on some of the very same “chemicals” that
g help clean our clothes. The water we drink,
.g for instance, is a chemical compound of the
£ gases oxygen and hydrogen. We breathe air
M* ic a rhpmiral tniv_
ture of oxygen, nitro
•i;.: gen and inert gases.
:£ Everything we wear
and use is “chemical",
£: only most of us have
n’t appreciated it here
A; tofore.
No work can be done
without the assistance
l;i;
of “chemicals” in some form. These helpful :jl;>
“chemicals” are friendly “chemicals”.
In common with those of the housewife, our
friendly “chemicals” are sours, a mild soda,
Javelle Water, chipped soap, and pure soft
water.
Consider these.
In the dressing served with your salad is a
higher concentration of free acid than will be $:
found in our sours.
Everyone has eaten more excess soda ash in :j:j
biscuits than is commonly used on the fam
ily washing in the laundry. $:
The snojvy whiteness which you secure with
bleaches is obtained by us with an even milder
preparation—Javelle Water. It was this same
Javelle Water that was so helpful during the £:
war in purifying wounds. jS
But these materials are only incidental in our
laundry. Our principal “chemical” and real
cleansing agent is pure, soft water. This water jij
in which your clothes are washed by us is
changed as many as from nine to twejve times S
in the washing process. It is this soft water, :§
with creamy suds, that gives to our laundry xj
beautiful appearance. :;j:
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 jS
your family washing. j:;i
