MAYTAGS WITH BYRD
SOUTH POLE EXPEDITION
Recently word was flashed by radio
that Commander Byrd had flown to
the South Pole.
Fifty-five picked men with Com- ■
niander Richard E. Byrd of the Unit
ed States Navy left for the Antarctic
months ago. These cold, bleak months
have been passed in explorations and
surveys, and in making plans for a
flight to the pole by airplane. They
face six months to two years in this
desolate country with its merciless
elements, and during that time every
domestic task, from sewing on but
tons to washing clothes, must be done
by the men themselves.
Out of 3,000 applications, fifty-five
volunteers were selected for the trip
after passing rigid tests and physical
examinations. Equipment of all kinds
was selected with the same care, and
the Maytag washer, with its sturdy
construction, cast-aluminum tub and
many other outstanding features was
chosen as the washday servant.
Not only the success of the adven
ture, but the health and life of the
men depend on proper equipment and
careful methods of living. Cleanliness
j keeps away disease, and so they are
prepared to wash their clothes in
Maytags.
On the icy slopes of the Antarctic
j Continent, when the men dress in
heavy skins and furs, the Maytag
will, of course, be impractical, but on
the supply ship and during the long
journey through the tropics and on
farther south where the red in the
thermometer drops nearly out of
! sight, there will be many days when
the Maytag will find plenty to do
keeping clothes fresh and clean for
fifty-five men.
Count the shirts, socks, breeches,
blankets, handkerchiefs and whatnot
i for fifty-five men. There is no place
at which to purchase new supplies
when clothes wear out. The nearest
store is many, many miles away, so
enough clothes are taken to last two
years.
From these clothes the Maytag will
have to wash away the dirt. It won’t
be dust—not in the Antarctics, but it
will be grease from engines, grease
from guns or instruments, grease
from seals which are captured—real
stubborn dirt, but with a good supply
of salt water soap, the Maytag will
take it out.
