Miss Chapman Meets
With Valley View Girls
A recent meeting of the Valley
View 4-H club girls was held
with Miss Mildred Chapman,
county agent, demonstrating how
to use different edgings on
scarves. Theme for the club is
Better Homes for Better Citizens.
The girls were told that on
March 24 there will be a style
show presented by the Simplicity
Pattern company and all 4-H club
girls have been invited to attend.
"HOW THE TESTS WERE MADE”
The soil removal tests were made in accordance with the Test
Manual of the American Washer and Ironer Manufacturers’
Association, with water temperatures of 160° for the automatic
machine and 1250 for non-automatic type machines as specified
by the Manual.
For the germ removal tests the washing procedure as above
was supplemented by a pre-determined rinse procedure established
from contact with authorities in the field of home laundering
including the manufacturers of the machines used. The Bendix
was used in accordance®with the manufacturer’s published instruc-
tions. Staphylococcus aureus bacteria (bacteria commonly used
for test purposes) were used to measure efficiency of germ removal.
The four washers used, three non-automatic and a Bendix auto-
matic Washer, were purchased in the open market by the Pittsburgh
Testing Laboratory.

The Bendix outwashed all others tested
for both soil and germ removal.
Matched against three leading non-automatic washers
in two-way tests of washing thoroughness, the Bendix
did a much better job than any of the others, accord-
ing to reports from the Pittsburgh Testing Laboratory.
In soil removal tests, the Bendix automatic Home
Washer removed 23.3% more soil than the “next-best”
machine tested.
In germ removal Jests, the Bendix did 10 times as
good a job as the other washers tested!
