ANTIQUE MOTHER HUBBARD ROLLER WASHBOARD Made in Mendota Ill.
All rollers in excellent condition Directions for use still legible, printed on back of washboard and reads as follows MOTHER HUBBARDâe(tm)S PATENT ROLLER WASHBOARD DIRECTIONS: 1- Place tub high enough for operator to stand erect. Backaches are unnecessary. 2- Place hands flat, palms down. The weight of the arms, hands, and clothes themselves will do the washing. No more cut, bruised, skinned knuckles. The rollers do the rubbing. 3- Rub soap crosswise on rollers filling the grooves. This saves soap and creates a lather under the clothes w it is most needed. 4- Souse the clothes in the water more often than by the old method as rinsing removes the dirt loosened by the rollers. The right and left hand screws or threads bend and open the meshes of the cloth which is the real operation of washing cloths, thus allowing water to take away the loosened dirt and cleanse the garments. T being no back, the water easily takes the dirt right to the bottom of the tub. Chipped or wobbly rollers are not a defect - the finest silks can be washed without injury. The only board made that can be repaired. Board should be hung up in a cool, dry place when not in use.
