Women and the Laundry Women are now doing splendid work, side by side with men. . It is in the laundry, however, that women find a natural environment; work at which, by instinct and training, they are most adept. No other indusiry offers better hours, cleaner and more sanitary surroundings, better ventilation and less fatigue.

Is it not reasonable that girls and women, naturally adept, highly skilled and with special modern equipment to work with, should be doing the splendid work they are doing in the laundries? d Is it natural that they should handle your choicest linens with the same care that you do, even if it were not re- quired ? pound. - All flat pieces are to iron.
