gg | The many methods for washing clothes can igg

gij | they make clothes longer-lived. jig
jgi | Only the sturdiest homespuns could endure * gg
gg ; the scrub-board treatment to which grand- gj!
ig | mother subjected the family washing. ig;
gi; | Ours is the modern way—the way that gg
ig; 1 makes it possible for you to obtain the long- ig;
» gg 1 est possible service from the household gg
igi I linens and garments you buy. gg
gg | When you send your family washing to us, | gg
igi | the clothes are never jerked back and forth gg
gg | over a wash-board. Our method is the sim- ' gg
igi | pier one of sousing and rinsing in water of gg
igi g wonderful softness and suds of pure white gg
gg | soap. gg
ig; | We use the same principle you adopt when gg
gg | you wash your favorite Georgette waist by jig
