Vintage Video: 1946

This is good stuff. When I was using the iron today, Jake and I were talking about ironing--something that doesn't happen too often at our house. I was telling him about this huge roller iron thing that my Mom used to use. When I was a girl I would watch her iron with it in the basement. I remember the smell of the heat, and the clicking sounds of the roller moving up and down.

So I told him I'd check the internet to find a picture. As luck would have it, the name came to me as I started typing in the google search bar: Ironrite. That's what it was called. The video here is long, but the first 2:30 minutes are priceless. Like the guy says, " A shirt that's ironed 'rite' is one of life's greatest sources of satisfaction."
