SHRINK-SAVING SOCK FORMS
IF every rose has its thorn, so has every
warm wool sock its disadvantage—
that of shrinking in the washing if dried
in the ordinary way, merely pinned to the
clothes line or hung over a towel bar.
To the rescue comes a pair of springy
wire forms shaped like a foot in silhouette
and capable of being compressed
while they are slipped inside the hosiery.
These Wire Forms Keep Socks from Shrinking
While Drying
These hold the knitted wool stretched
until dry. They come in sizes for men
and women.

PRESS TROUSERS WITHOUT
HEAT
A DEVICE is now on the market that
*^ simplifies man's problem of keeping
his trousers in crease. With its use it is
not necessary to use any heat at all, as the
manufacturers of this device claim that
heat applied to the goods tends to destroy
the nap. Simply by moistening the edges
and putting the trousers in the press, in
i fteen minutes all the wrinkles and bagginess
is gone, and a good crease that
lasts is secured.
This device is made
of waterproof fiber
board, and has steel
clamps holding it together.
It can be
hung up, or, in the
case of travelers, can
be folded up, taking
up no more room in
one's trunk or suitcase
than an ordinary
shirt. The press is
very durable, weighs
only twenty ounces,
and retails for $1.50.
Every man — or at
least every bachelor
—should have one in
his clothes press.
