WOMEN! HERE'S ONE
Says you save S. In an hour by
dry cleaning everything
with gasoline.

Dry cleaning at home is just as sim
pie as laundering. Any woman can
clean five dollars worth in fifteen
minutes at little cost by getting from
the drug store two ounces of solvite
ana put this in two gallons of gaso-
line, where it quickly dissolves. Then
1Tnnerse articles to be cleaned; rub a
little and in few moments the gaso-
line evaporates and the articles look
bright and fresh as new.
You can dry clean silk waists
dresses. coats. ribbons. kid gloves,
satin shoes, evening slippers, shawls,
belts, yokes, furs. boas, muffs, neck
ties lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
DIRE peries, fine laces, lace curtains
wooden garments, ir fact, any and
everything that would be ruined by
soap and water as dry cleaning doesn't
fade, shrink or wrinkle, making press
ing unnecessary.
Your grocer or any garage will sup
ply the gasoline and you can obtain
two ounces of solvite at the drug
store. which is simply a. gasoline soap.
Then wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit
