 Why give him the best of il? Why not let us do all your wash-from flat work to linen collars, from woolen blankets to delicate lace cur- tains? It's the only reliable, cleanly economical way.
 The men in some house. holds, get the best of 1t, too, because they are freed from the annoyance of wash day. There is no adequate reason why the housekeeper should burden herself in this man. her.
