HELP FOR HOME MANAGEMENT

Women are invading the ice bus
iness, among the last strongholds of
husky, he-men, in ever-increasing
numbers, according TO Leslie c..
Smith, secretary, National Associa-
tion of Ice Industries, not to wrestle
100-pound ice cakes, to be sure, but
to serve none the less effectively.
with the rapid growth of public
interest in refrigeration" Secretary
Smith explains, ambitious women
have found widening field of use
fulness open to them and they are
swarming to ice companies
throughout the country to become
home refrigeration advisers Femi-
nine instincts and training ideally
fit them for this new profession
and progressive ice producers and
distributors are rapidly employing
the available supply.
These ice women visit homes,
inspect ice boxes if desired and gem
orally advise housewives on the
care of foods, the prevention of
wastes, the various uses of ice in
kitchen, dining room, sickroom, bou-
doir and bath. They show the wives
how to make direct-route dishes to
the hearts of men and leaders in the
ice industry believe that this new
service may materially reduce sep
aration and divorce statistics.
These women know and sympa-
thize with babies, whose foods need
constant refrigeration, and their
advice is most welcome to mothers. |
They will do their share in contri-
buting to better health and lower
infant mortality.
Many of these new professional |
women are college graduates in
home economics and all are trained
to pass upon the efficiency of ice
boxes and the principles of the au-
tomato working of ice. In addition
to house-tO-house service, they
speak over the radio, address wo-
mems clubs, schools, parent-teach-
ers' association and even gatherings
Of mere men When it is recalled
that there are two automobiles in
he United States to every ice box,
he need for this service is striking
