Do you see some old favorites there that he hasn't wof*n in a long time? Chances are, his favorites have become smudged and soiled. Or spotted. Take my word for it, that happens much more frequently than we like. Now pick out all the soiled and smudged ties you can find. Multiply them by $2.50—the average cost of replacing them. You come up with an impressiva sum, don’t you? Tell your husband that you can make all his ties look like new again lor half that cost. Then bring the tie» to us for Sumtone dry cleaning (we’ll do it for 35c a tie). If your husband pays you just half the replace ment cost, you’ll make a tidy profit for your house hold expenses. But some husbands yell about having ties dry cleaned— “They get stiff!” “They get edges so sharp you can shave with them!” “They never look right again!” Come into our plant and look at a tie I’ve dry clean ed several times. You can’t tell it from the new one 1 keep with it. Then save yourself some money. On your husband’s ties. Samtone Clrpfittl Kfastri nrydemn Sunshine Cleaners and Laundry W.

FERNELL Your Telephone Manager PEOPLE WHO OWN PETS sometimes do things that seem strange to people who don’t. A couple we heard about recently is a good example. They have a parakeet who is considered a ipember of the family, and the sound of a ringing phone sends the bird into ecstasies. I»oth of them work, and they’ve gotten in the ha! it of calling home occasionally during the • ' i day, just to let the parakeet enjoy the bell. Not too long ago, the husband dialed his home num- *' ■* > her one day, as usual, forgotten that his wbfe had a day off. She answered and was greeted with an in dignant, “Why did you answer? You know I was calling the bird!” P, lease Deface Books Most of us learned the taboo on penciling books at the kindergarten stage, but even the strictest schooimarm would exempt telephone directories from the I'ule. Marking your phone book helps you to find the correct num ber quickly. Just underscore or circle the number the first time you look it up.
