The Mop and Its Pals
Number IL
Prepared by the


TT IS about time to speak kind word for
the mop, that Cinderella of household
i utensils, whose family history reaches
back farther than the scrub women of King
Solomon's Temple. The mop is an ancient
and honorable symbol of cleanliness at any
price. With its modern companions of the
cleaning closet, 1t stands for social progress
and emancipation from household drudgery
How many women give due credit to that
wonderful invention, the dustless mop?
With few flicks Of your wrist the fluffy
contraption fits about on your waxed floor,
restoring shiny cleanliness between the time
the doorbell rings and the unexpected COM
pany walks in. The man who first made and
advertised this boon to housekeepers de-
serves medal for distinguished service.
One of the best things about the mop is the
company it keeps Its close companion the
vacuum cleaner, saves hours and hours of
hard labor every week in the year. In place
OF 100000 housewives beating rugs in the
back yard, 10000 workmen are now busy
in factories, making vacuum cleaners for
them and earning wages for themselves and
their families.
Another highly useful member OF the
househld clan of cleaners is the washing
machine. Although taken pretty much for
granted nowadays, the power washer has
saved wear and tear on more millions of
feminine backs, fingers, and tempers than
has almost anything alse you can think OF.
Neither the vacuum cleaner nor the power
washing machine would ever have become a
common household appliance If these articles

had not been advertised. Women would not
have known about their advantages. The
first washing machines did not spread very
fast throughout the country, because they
were not advertised much, and they were
not improved rapidly, either.
But when advertising got on the Job, then
housewives really became washing machine
conscious and they certainly did buy them.
Manufacturers sold more washers and could
AFFORD to put more money into the work of
designing improvements. In this way adver-
tisng gave jobs to inventors, with the result
that todays washing machine is as modern
as a new eight-cylinder automobile, and it is
streamlined, too.
National advertising is absolutely the only
way new inventions can be popularized
quickly and at relatively small expense for
each unit. The cost Of advertising vacuum
sweepers and washing machines is only about
per cent of the price of each article, which
is extremely small compared with the amount
Of other costs saved through the use of adver-
tisng. The total selling expense would be
much higher if these articles were not adver-
tised, and consumers would have to pay
more
This is also true of many other popular
work-saving utensils. Making houseWork
easier is one of the regular Jobs of advertis-
ing, and the list of work-savers that it has in.
troduced into the average American home is
endless And one of the best things about it
is that advertising pays for itself by being
very efficient salesman. Advertising actually
lowers the cost of many useful articles.

as masterpieces and won academy

Because he doesn't turn down parts,
no matter what the size Of the fin-

in Hollywood. When he was working
in THE Valley of the Giants" he
was in two other pictures, too. His
attitude and his versatility permit him
to portray Patrick Henry one day and
a crooked land ONCE agent in "The
