Pictorial Wash Lists.

Pretty old inventions are our modern
wash lists. The old German house
wife had an odd way of keeping track
OF the garments she gave out to be
washed. She had a picture of each
article and wrote down the number of
everything opposite to it with piece
of chalk, which was rubbed out when
the article was returned, to be used
again the next week. Tt was really a
pictorial and perpetual wash list.
