 On Tuesday morning, usually, out came the irons, at least two of them, or even half a dozen. First, they had to be cleaned. Then they were heated on the stove and laboriously lifted on and off dozens of times. And all the while the ironing went on, they had to be rubbed with a piece of paraffin tied in a scorched rag. Today, your electric iron is silvery bright when you buy it and stays bright because it is plated. Many a June bride this month received beautiful, durable silverware.
