He had been il weeks. Mellle attracted Ford's attention when he won the State “title” at a local contest. His championship as a fiddler was disputed by “Uncle John" Wilder, former President Calvin Cool- idge’s uncle.

WE MAINTAIN NO BRANCH OFFICES FOR WIVES ONLY WHAT things do you hold dearest? If you're like most of us they run somewhat in this order: Family, Health, Happiness, Appearance, Youth. 3 But have you ever stopped to think how easily they are lost? Remember the old proverb. For want of a nail the shoe was lost. For want of a shoe the horse was lost. For want of a horse the rider was lost. Frequently, battles, even destinies of nations, de- pend on little things. We see the big results of small neglects all around us. Even in our own homes. A child denied companionship. A wife too tired to be pleasant . . . Too thought- less of her own vitality—her youthful charm. A husband vexed by late suppers, by makeshift breakfasts . i ; ashamed of home-washed shirts. Hundreds of other little domestic dan- gers start with washday in the home. But they don’t stop there. They go on and on, gathering momentum, making life un- pleasant. Butwethink we’resaving money. And we think it's appreciated. That’s the cream of the jest! More likely our children—and our husbands too—are secretly ashamed of their “washwomen wives and mothers.” Plain talk, yes, but it's a plain case. The solution is not only easy—but economical. Pick a good laundry. Pick one that gives fast, economical service. One that saves you money by saving your clothes: We' do these things for thou- sands of Washington women every day, here at Manhattan. And they con- sider their money well spent. They wouldn’t go back to home washing because they know that many things besides orig- inal cost are important. Many of them have seen how Manhattan’s soft net bags keep out the wear that wears out clothes. How each piece is washed in suds of pure palm oil soap. Rinsed with soft, filtered water, Returned in three short days. Manhattan services are worked out to fit every need—every purse. Hundreds of families send the flat work if nothing more. Some women use a service like Homestic and touch up the wearing ap- parel at home. Others use our complete ready-to-wear services. But the service is easily fitted to your needs. The main thing is to get washday out of the home! After all, this is an age of specializa- tion. We buy bread from bakers, milk from milkmen . . . why not laundering irom laundries? It's the only way to escape four solid years of washday work and worry. (Fig- ure it up, a day a week, between the ages 20 to 45). If you agree that it's worth a trial, phone Decatur 1120. Just leave your ad- dress and we’ll send a Manhattan repre- sentative to explain our money-saviog services to you. But don't put it off any longer. Health and Happiness are t00 precious. Remember, Decatur 1120 . - - or better still, tear this out as a reminder.
