Silver Polish Cloth
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you tell me in The Lictoues| how to make polishing dusters for silver and brass? I once made such a duster for silverware by soaking it in some: preparation, but have lost the recipe; | and I see brass polishing dusters are now for sale in the shops.

I am sure that the proper polishing cloths on sale are much better than any home-made ones, as the big manufacturing firms have a proven formula and method. However. here is the old recipe which we used to make up years ago: Bring to the boil 1 quart water, 2 tablespoons plate powder, or whiting, and 1 cup cloudy ammonia. Drop in two clean dusters, stir well in boiliné solution for JO minutes, and hang on line to dry. Do not wring.
