NEW LAMPS FOR OLD
DOMESTIC Science Teachers insist that there are porter and
easier methods than “the way mother did it.” It is also recognise J
that “good houskeeping” is governed by traditions but in this pro
ii gressive age the drudgery and discomfort of washday should surely
be “smashed to smithereens.”
There is a way! It lies in the employment of the service of the
modern laundry and the term “Economy Wash” describes the method.
It means the return of sheets, slips, towels, table cloths, napkins
| and all other “flat” pieces ironed and ready to use. It means too, all
other pieces dried and starched and ready to iron.
The price is 7 cents a pound delivered. It is a much more
economical way for the housewife than the washday at home and it
* results in a big gain in health and comfort and time. We would like
to talk with you on this important household economy.
