MODERNISING THE WASHHOUSE The drudgery of house-work gradually is being overcome and the unremitting labour of the housewife year by year is being reduced to light and pleasant work. New materials, new methods, new timesaving gadgets are to-day accepted and welcomed by every intelligent woman. Even the most irksome task of all, the weekly wash, is now-e-days a very simple process, involving at most about an hour’s light work on Monday morning. The modern, neat, compact boiler of steel-cased pumice-concrete has revolutionised washing and the washhouse. It occupies the minimum of space. It is bright and cheerfullooking and its ducoed surface in green or silver has dispelled forever the dingy gloom of the old-fashioned wash-house. You can get at it and all round it easily. Cleaning it is merely a matter of rubbing it over with a damp cloth. That’s all. And to light it you take a sheet of newspaper, a few scraps of wood (or any rubbish at all, for the best makes of boilers are now designed to serve the purpose also of incinerators), and in ten minutes you have ten gallons of boiling water! This truly up-to-date service is due to two distinct factors. One is the insulating and fire-resisting qualities of pumice in the form of pumice-ferro-concrete. This is the means by which the heating powers of the boiler have been raised to an astonishing degree. It is also your safeguard against fire-risk, which is reduced to a minimum. Without pumice, such economy, lightness and safety are impossible . . . yet pumice is not the only factor involved. The success of the modern boiler depends just as much upon skilful and experienced designing as well as the the highest quality in materials and workmanship. Those who seek a real and lasting economy from a pumice boiler must satisfy themselves that the make they select really has the virtues that are claimed for it. The usual method of' assuring this is, of course, to demand a guarantee. You may be certain that the firm which is prepared to stand for years behind its product knows from experience how good that product is. ■ —Article and illustration by Firth Concrete Ltd., 59 Lake Road, Frankton ■ .y_, y S' S‘f? 1..-
