STAND UP AND SCRUB WITH ADDIS!

Long-handled brush is more . comfortable, does a better job 

Do you get down on your knees to scrub? Up till now it was the only way to get the floor really clean. But now, Addis, the brush people, have produced a long-handled scrubbing brush that not only saves your knees but makes a more efficient job of scrubbing. You can get it to match the rest of your Addis things, in a choice of red, green, blue or yellow, 8/11(about $1.25)?  the brush, 2/6 (about 35 cents)? the handle-the best 11/5 (about $1.60)? you ever spent! 

THERE ARE LOTS MORE efficient, colourful Addis things to help make a better, easier job of your housework.  See them at your hardware shop or departmental store, or send for illustrated leaflet. 

How the Addis scrubber works "Spoon" some sudsy water onto the floor with the plastic back of the brush. 

Now you can scrub with the whole weight of your body on the handle, helping the strong nylon tufts to get the floor sparkling clean. Wring a cloth out in clean water, flip it over the end of the tufts and mop up the suds. Easy, isn't it?
