Questions and
Answers

Electrical Editor: Can you give
me an idea how much ironing
family should have each week to
make an electric irOher a pay
ing investment? We have six
i'm ours--two men, two women,
and two girls. seven and nine
years old All the clothing ex-
cept the mems collars is washed
with an electric washer. and
ironed with the six-pound iron,
but of course 1t takes some time
PERHAPS four hours. Do you
think 1t would be wise to have
an ironer installed? MRS. q
AS rule the family ironing can
be done In one-quarter of the time
by means OF an ironing machine.
II your weekly ironing occupies
four solid hours, il IL probable that
IS per cent of it could be done IN
a little over an hour by means OF
an ironer This. would save ap.
ilroximately $50 hours of very hard
1rudgery each year. IT is for you
to decide whether an investment
in an ironing machine will pay Tor
this amount OF labor saving:
Laundress hire costs between 3
and So cents per hour, which would
mean that you would save at least
/ IS cents per week to apply against
the cost OF an ironing machine.
In addition, you would be relieved
OF the uncertainty of getting help
when needed, the expense of meals
and carfare and the possibility OF
the work being poorly done by an
incompetent helper.
