It's one of those ironies - pun intended - that today we have irons
that practically get the clothes from the dryer and put them away for
us.and our clothes are "wash n' wear" with not much, if any, ironing
required. In 1934, EVERYTHING needed ironing.and their irons were not
easy to use at best!
Does anyone else remember starch? Does anyone else remember sprinkling
starched clothes? I never did learn to make completely lump-free
starch.and can remember the day I found Spray Starch!!!
