Prevents Washboard Slipping.

The modern stationary washtubs are
box shaped, with one side set at an
outward angle or slope. The wash
board when used in these tubs will
slide up and down against the slOping
part of the tub while the clothes are
rubbed against it. This annoying trou
BILE can be avoided by lacking OH
the top edge Of the board strips Of
rubber cut from a discarded bicycle
tire. placing the rubber side out. The
friction of the rubber prevents any mo-
ton Of the board.
