with You?

ter heretofore re-but there IS a
more modern method than that
of the Scrubboard.
1t is our family laundry
service. 1t is a better wash
way-we wash your personal
and household goods in the
same careful manner you would
do them yourself. No Tapping
in the wind to collect SCOT or
tear the textiles but a sure,
pure drying. Then ironing by
our steam-heated method that
never scorches. Delivery at
a definite time on definite
days these are what we give
you.
Washday is a heritage Of
the past that as a modern wo-

to cling to longer.
Call US up and let US give
you freedom from the trying

Many things that might be
improved have been with us so
long that it sometimes never
occurs to us that we could do
better without them. We are
slaves of custom of habit.
The buttons on our coat
cuffs date back to the Seven
teenth Century, when coats
were of such rich and costly
fabrics that it was necessary
to protect the wide sleeves by
rolling and buttoning them up.
We have abandoned brocades
and cloth of gold, but we still
cling to cuffs.
In many parts of France,
Italy and Austria, women har-
ness themselves up with the
oxen and drag the plows. 1t
has never occurred to them that
women have a higher mission.
Are you thus bound by
habit and custom to washday ?
Perhaps you simply haven't
thought much about the mat
