Modern Clothes Washing. 
Don’t wash in the old-fashioned way. 
The world moves onward in better 
methods of doing things. One of the 
great problems of life is the drudgery 
of the household. Dish Mashing ma- 
chines are helping solve part of that 
problem but an equally important part 
is clothes Avashing. Now that difficulty 
has been met. The White Wet Wash, 
Stage Street. Stamford. Connecticut, 
has M'orked it out so that the cost is 
minimum and the results effective. 
Readers of this magazine will find 
it profitable to read their advertisement 
in this number and to telephone Stam- 
ford 969 for further particulars. 
The White Wet Wash automobile 
calls anywhere in Stamford or its sub- 
urbs and takes the clothes — even wool, 
silk, yes, blankets and rugs without ad- 
ditional charge and without worry to 
the customer. It is a simple matter to 
chuck everything into the bag that is 
furnished, tie a string around the top 
of it and let The White Wet Wash do 
the rest. 
Nowadays electric appliances make 
ironing at home a less formidable task. 
The Comes-Northrop Company’s Store. 
We are not surprised that this com- 
pany has had to enlarge its store some 
thirty feet, taking a skylight in the rear 
into the main part of the store. Ever 
since this enterprising business house 
commenced advertising in The Guide 
to Nature it has prospered. The en- 
largement to the store adds room for 
some twenty dozen more soft hats, 
making it now the largest haberdashery 
in Stamford. We congratulate the 
managers upon their veil deserved 
success.

I received the sample copy of The 
Guide to Nature. It is the best maga- 
zine I have ever read and I subscribe 
to several. ... I am now a night 
fireman in a factory and I find an hour 
or so at odd times through the night 
to go out and observe the stars when 
the atmosphere permits. — Theodore H.
