, I I
I TV TO laundry problems fretted the primitive
^ T| woman. If on Monday morning the family
required a change of raiment, she ventured
forth and plucked a new wardrobe from a con
venient bough.
»
® But as the race accumulated years and clothes,
g the Monday morning problem became an increas
||| ingly difficult one.
By the time of the Egyptians, 4000 years ago,
the family yvash was “treated” by stamping on it
with the feet and beating it with the white clay of
the Nile. The Egyptians’ was a one-method pro
cess with no object but the elimination of dirt.
Washing methods have been increased to
four or five by the modern housewife. For
each of the several classes of goods — woolens,
silks, cottons and miscellaneous—she may use a
special laundering process.
She avoids boiling woolens.
Silks she washes gently,
'/• § in lukewarm water. Badly
H 1 soiled cottons she boils
H I in strong soap solutions
j:$ S Colored goods are washed
:S i
I I
in a way that keeps the dyes from running.
In our laundry, even greater refinements are
practiced. Instead of four or five methods of
handling the family washing, we use a dozen.
Your wearing apparel and household articles
are carefully sorted by trained workers—sorted
and pigeon-holed” in the same way that the mail
clerk sorts and pigeon-holes your letters.
Woolens, silks, laces, badly soiled articles, linens,
light colors, cottons, dark colors, curtains and so
on are placed in special compartments and kept
apart to be washed separately by special means.
A dozen methods for handling your family
washing—these are what we employ. Isn’t this
immensely superior to the old-fashioned wash
tub way?
It is this attention to detail—this specialization—
that has made our laundry a
conserver of clothes and a
true economy.
Send us your family wash
ing and we will give you ideal
service and freedom from
washday drudgery.
