As house cleaning' time is to the aver
age man, so is wash day to the average
woman. With its hard, grinding drud
gery, summer and winter, wash day is a
bugaboo in practically every household.
Why not get rid of it by letting Mack,
the Irish Washwoman, take over the
burden? It will be money saved in hard
cash, when all the incidentals are taken
into account, besides preserving the
wife's health, conserving her strength
and avoiding sickness and doctor's bills.
The modern methods of laundrying
which this laundry long ago adopted and
keeps adding to makes for the utmost
cleanliness and absolutely no damage to
the daintiest fabrics.
Think over these things and try us a
month.
