GIVE HARNESS BEST OF CARE
Hardened Grease Is Conveniently Re-
moved by Scraping With Knife
Oil While Damp.

Harness should be washed and
oiled when 1t becomes dirty or ex-
tremely dry. For washing, use tepid
water, a neutral soap, such as CASTLE
or white toilet soap, and sponge or
fairly stiff brush. Hardened grease
Is very conveniently removed by scrap
ing with a dull knife. Rinse in clean,
tepid water, and allow the harness to
stand in a warm place until 1t Is no
longer wet but still damp. Then oil
it and leave 1t in warm place for "a
hours before being used. Harness
should be oiled or creased while still
damp; otherwise, it may take up so
much grease that 1t will pull out Of
shape or take up sand and grit. which
will injure 1t, as well as spoil its APP
pearance Harness should never look
or feel greasy.
