Oh, how I hated these things, First you washed, then put the clothes thru the wringer, Then hung them out on the line, and hoped a bird didn't come by, then you brought them in and folded and the ones that had to be ironed you sprinkled and put in the fridge until the next day. Then you put the ironing board up and turned the radio on to soaps and stood and ironed. Thank you Lord for dryers and permapress.
