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 min
utes at little cost by getting from the
drug store two ounces of solvite and
put this in two gallons of gasoline,
where it quickly dissolves. Then i'm
merse 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, sat
in shoes, evening slippers, shawls,
belts. yokes, furs, boas, muffs, neck,
ties, lawns, dimity and chiffon dresses,
draperies, fine laces, lace curtains,
wooden garments, in 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
tow ounces of solvite at the drug
store, which is simply gasoline soap.
Then a wash boiler or large dishpan
completes your dry cleaning outfit.
