Later on somebody thought of putting a fun- nel on the end of a stick to do the same work. That was some improvement. But that early washing method was still far removed from its final development which science has made available to women today. In the three vacuum cups that move up and down inside the present Easy Washer you can still see some resemblance to the action of human hands. But no hands could handle fine, dainty pieces as gently as the Easy’s famous Vacuum Cup Prin- ciple, and at the same time get all the dirt out of the heavy, grimy things 1 alls and bath'mats. ike over- The Vacuum Cup Principle As the Easy’s roomy vacuum cups move down, the air and water through the fabric. pressure carries air, soap As the cups rise, the vacuum they create carries the air, soap and water back again.
