One of the most fascinating aspects of this washday revoman-mad- n the Association of lution, Home Appliance Manufacturers (AHAM) points out, is the way in which the three r industries appliances, fabrics and laundry aids concerned have worked as a team. When washer design forged ahead of washing products. that industry hastened to close the gap. When new fibers and finishes required handling, special laundry appliances were redesigned ' ; - , accordingly. Research to Work homemaker Occasionally, were disappointed when they discovered that some fabrics, finishes and types of garment construction were less than satisfactorily washable. Alert textile and garment manufacturers put their research laboratories to work. And all three Industries have worked to reduce to a minimum one of the homemakers most disliked tasks ironing. Laundry appliance manufacturers, through their trade association, took the first eteps towards developing the present well organized cooperative program. Now, engineers and technicians representing the three industries meet at least once a year to discover and solve their mutual problems. The end result of this voluntary cooperative effort is that the consumer gets the benefits of improved fibers, fabrics and finishes, better construction of washable gar-i- n ents, better engineered laundry appliances and Improved laundry aids. wgGiagj isi Jpt?
