Put Your Blankets away in a 

 Wayne Wardrobe 



Blankets are usually a par- 

 adise for moths — 'they're put 

 away for so long a time — and 

 usually so carelessly, that 

 when they're taken out in the 

 fall — the moths have almost 

 eaten them up. m . 



Now you can keep your blankets 

 — your automobile robes and carriage 

 robes free from inoihs and other 

 insects — and clean as well — if you 

 put them away in a Wayne wardrobe 

 — air tight. 



Here's the most convenient and 

 accessible way to keep blankets — 

 you can get them any time you 

 want them — and then you can use 

 the wardrobe for many years.
