Mothproofing Primer
7. Attack the Cause of Damage
Moths lay their eggs in any fab
ric containing wool, fur, feathers
or animal hair. Eggs hatch into
larvae—and larvae grow fat by
eating the fabric. That’s why it
is smart to use DI-CHLORICIDE®
for complete protection against
moths, eggs and larvae.
2. Clean Before Storage
Don’t take chances by storing
garments and blankets that may
not be clean. Dry clean or wash
everything that needs it. Give the
rest a thorough airing and brush
ing— especially seams and “hid
den” places—to dislodge eggs and
drive off larvae.

3. Mothproof Your Garments
Woolens that are not guaranteed
against moth damage by manu
facturer or dry cleaner can easily
be mothproofed at home. It’s sim
ple to spray on protection that
lasts for a whole year when you
use the DI-CHLORICIDE “push
button” mothproofer.
4. Store in Sealed Containers
Use garment bags, chests and
other containers that can be sealed
tightly. Place DI-CHLORICIDE
moth cake vaporizers in bags and
chests. Sprinkle garments with DI
CHLORICIDE crystals or nug
gets. DI-CHLORICIDE leaves no
residue to stain fabrics.
THANKS TO THE
PEOPLE OF NOME
On behalf of all the Lions Clubs
in District 49, we would like to
say "Thanks Nome, for a job well

We hope that in return we may
have left you something that you
will also remember and that per
haps you will desire to have our
organization return to your city

To the Nome Chamber of Com
merce, the Women's Clubs and all
the other organizations in Nome,
Lioness Virginia and I would like
to express our personal thanks for
your help in assisting us to put
on one of the best conventions
ever held in this district.
Best wishes to all of you.
Melvin and Virginia Harris.
