HOW To" SAVE 500 a YEAR

Another pre-washing tip given
by laundry specialists pertains to
heavily-soiled articles such as
work clothes, children's play
clothes, or the neck band on
white shirts. Rub the heavilye
soiled area with a thick mixture
of the washing compound before
the clothes are put into the,
washer, using a cellulose SPONGE
or soft brush. 1t is important toI
use the same type of washing|
compound for this pre-treatmentl
as is being used in the washer
for that particular load of clothes.
The advance spotting" treatment
will cut down on necessary wash,
ing time and save wear on the
garment.

Most homemakers agree that an
automatic washer is the best
choice for time and energy-saving.

more than twice as long when
washed by home methods!
Such spectacular savings were
not enough for the Hotpoint home
economists. They began to look at
the home laundering methods to
make sure of top efficiency in
time, money, and effort expended.
They suggest you give some
thought to your actual day for
washing. A major advantage of
the home machine is that any day
or every day can be wash day. If
your family is small, it might be
more convenient to do the entire
weeks wash on one day in three
or four loads carefully sorted ac-
cording to color and fabric. The
important thing to remember is
that each load should carry arti-
cles requiring similar washing
periods and similar water tenn
perature. One day might do for
sheets, pillow cases. white shirts,
and table linens requiring hot
water and the same washing time.
A second day can be set aside for
colored articles and fine lingerie
which are most satisfactorily
washed in warm water. Heavily
soiled work clothes or articles
needing pre-soaking might be
candidates for another days
washing.
Once the schedule has been
arranged to suit your needs. you
might try this recommended plan.
Sort the clothes as suggested
according to color and fabric,
similar washing periods and water
temperatures. Next, check all
clothes. Here is the suggested
routine;
l. Mend any rips or tears to
avoid further damage in the wash
process.
2. Remove all stains before
washing since hot water and soap
have tendency to set stains.
, 3. Empty all pockets and shake
clothes free of loose dirt.
4 Tie apron strings and belts.
Close zippcrs to prevent
catching and tearing clothes.
s Remove anything which
might cause rips or disrolorati0u

by wear and tear on washable
items.
The home economists set the
nationwide average weekly wash
as weighing approximately %
pounds. Research brought out that
the average commercial laundry
rate was 10 cents a pound while
home washing (including electric
ity, hot water, soap, bleaches,
etc. ran about 3 cents a pound.
In one year alone there was found
to be an approximate 500 saw
ing through laundry done at
home.
The long-range cost comparison
was even more surprising. During
l949 and 1850 Hotpoint made a
series of tests on the life expect
ancy of clothes commercially
laundered and those home laun-
dered. Three typical washable
items were selected for the test:
mems shirts, women's slips, and
bath towels. All articles were
identical in make and were in
use the same length of time. The
method of washing was the only
difference.
In the case of mems shirts. the
home-washed samples took SO
washings before they were I'M
wearable. The laundry-washed
shirts had to be discarded after
only rs washings. Translated into
dollars and cents, the tests proved
that with an average shirt costing
from $500 to $500. the saving

shirts would amount to from &2l

ty of these cases, that the wage
earner himself knew nothing about
his signature ON these notes. In
some instances the wives who
signed their husbands name were
no longer Living with them. In
some instances the merchandise
was delivered to children in the
family Who were asked to sign
the names of their parents to a
paper which later turned out to
be a note which authorized any
attorney to appear in court and
confess judgement against the
parents. Statesmen for this com
ranv stated at the time the sales
were made that collections would
be made at the door of the pur-
chaser every week. Many of these
people claim that the collectors
came for some period of time and
then stopped and that they have
never received any notice to pay
at any other place. Later their
wages we're tied up on these cog
novit judgments without any
notice. Others say that they were
told to pay in Columbus after
the collector quit calling at their
door and have paid as many as 8
| or 10 times but never received
any acknowledgment Or receipts
! for the same. In these cases, too,
the purchasers quit paying be-
cause they never received such a
receipt and later had their wages
tied ups

an agreement in writing to pay a
