How One Woman
| i
Lightens Her Washday Labors \
“ I am not a story-book wom
an. I am only one of your
neighbors — with a family to
bring up and watch over and
3 a home to manage. More
over, I have succeeded quite
I well as a mother and house
manager—at least my friends
| so assure me.
i “And I find time, too, for
5 keeping in touch with wom
en’s affairs, for making a social
call now and then, and for do
ing enough reading and such
to keep myself mentally
} brushed up.
| “ 'Of course you employ a
\ maid’, I hear you saying. But
that’s the unusual part of it.
I don’t. I’ve simply found a
new way for gaining ten hours
| a week—that is, it is a new
way to me. I have learned
' what real Family Laundry
Service is.
“I used to labor eight to ten
hours on Monday over boilers
I and washtubs and be simply
played out for the balance of
C
the week. Now I send every
thing— clothing, bed clothes,
table linen and household arti
cles to the laundry. *
“ The laundry does all the most |
toilsome work of washing for
me, leaving t<^ me only the
finishing of some of the smaller I
pieces. Everything is washed
most beautifully. The flat
pieces come back ironed more '
daintily than I could do them I
myself. The towels are de
livered as srtowy and fluffy as |
can be, while the miscellan- ?
eous pieces, like skirts and *
shirtwaists, are returned all
nicely starched, ready for me I
to iron. |
“Isn’t it a sensible arrange
ment ? And the cost is so
moderate.” I
This is the experience of hun
dreds of thrifty housewives
who send us their weekly 1
washing. Call us up and let *
us tell you more about this
ideal service.
