WEBVTT Kind: captions; Language: en 00:00:02.000 --> 00:00:06.001 Let the designers of Kitty's clothes dream them up. Mary and her iron 00:00:06.001 --> 00:00:08.000 right are ready for anything. 00:00:11.001 --> 00:00:15.001 Other garments that have always been a chore on the ironing board have been 00:00:15.001 --> 00:00:20.000 Mary's own wash dresses, requiring up to 15 minutes work on each. 00:00:21.000 --> 00:00:25.000 Here again, there are many styles, but a method for doing each 00:00:25.000 --> 00:00:26.001 will quickly suggest itself. 00:00:29.000 --> 00:00:33.001 If the sleeves have gathers at the top, they may be placed over the point of the 00:00:33.001 --> 00:00:37.001 shoe, pulled out, and ironed from the fullness down to the bottom of the sleeve. 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:45.000 If there is a cuff on the sleeve, Mary uses the pressing 00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:47.000 action to dry it thoroughly. 00:00:49.001 --> 00:00:53.000 The shoulder seam can be ironed double on the end of the shoe. 00:00:58.001 --> 00:01:02.000 Or if the dress is made with a large enough opening for the neckline, the 00:01:02.000 --> 00:01:05.000 shoulder can be placed on the end of the forming board singly 00:01:05.000 --> 00:01:07.000 and ironed without creasing. 00:01:08.001 --> 00:01:14.000 When the waist is open to the belt, Mary irons the fronts separately, placing the 00:01:14.000 --> 00:01:18.001 garment on the forming board and doing one front on one end of the shoe and the 00:01:18.001 --> 00:01:20.000 other front on the opposite end. 00:01:28.001 --> 00:01:34.000 When the dress is fitted at the waist, making for a small waistline, Mary irons 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:39.000 the underarm seam first by placing the dress doubled on the forming board and 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:42.000 ironing for about four inches from the seam toward the center of the dress. 00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.001 She later misses this iron section when ironing the body of the dress. 00:01:47.001 --> 00:01:51.000 Now, Mary irons the hem to ensure an even hemline. 00:02:01.001 --> 00:02:06.000 She puts the body of the dress over the shoe and forming board exactly as 00:02:06.000 --> 00:02:07.001 she used to do with her ironing board. 00:02:08.001 --> 00:02:13.000 Throughout iron-right operations, nearly all moves are familiar to hand ironers. 00:02:13.001 --> 00:02:16.000 Only, they are much easier and faster. 00:02:17.001 --> 00:02:22.001 If the dress is longer, as in the case of a housecoat, she does the top first, 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:26.000 then slips the iron portion off the end of the shoe and 00:02:26.000 --> 00:02:27.001 irons around the lower part of the skirt. 00:02:29.001 --> 00:02:34.000 She has learned to always put the wrong side of the material down. This brings 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:37.001 out the design in printed patterns and imparts a better finish 00:02:37.001 --> 00:02:39.000 to all synthetic materials. 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:48.000 Men's shorts are a cinch. She takes the crotch seam and brings it back to 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:49.001 pull one leg inside of the other. 00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:53.001 She slips them over the shoe and irons on around. 00:02:55.001 --> 00:03:00.000 When the material starts to wrinkle, she raises the roll, straightens and 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:03.000 rearranges the material, and continues until the finish. 00:03:04.001 --> 00:03:06.001 This job often takes no more than a few seconds. 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:17.000 Men's wash slacks are no trouble either. She first irons the pockets, 00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:25.000 then over the open end of the shoe, 00:03:25.001 --> 00:03:29.001 she irons the top from the fly on around the pocket to the middle of the seat. 00:03:30.001 --> 00:03:34.000 She then irons the other side the same way on the other end of the shoe. 00:03:36.001 --> 00:03:40.001 Slacks with pleats in front can be ironed by placing the front on the end of the 00:03:40.001 --> 00:03:43.001 shoe and ironing with the pleat from the top of the trouser 00:03:43.001 --> 00:03:45.001 down to the bottom of the fly opening. 00:03:48.001 --> 00:03:53.000 Now she lines up the seams in the trouser leg and feeds the cuff in 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.001 first, ironing to the crotch. 00:04:07.000 --> 00:04:11.001 Then, retaining her hold on the leg, she slides the slacks to the open end of the 00:04:11.001 --> 00:04:14.001 shoe and continues up the crease to the top of the trouser. 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:22.001 She turns the leg over and repeats this on the other side, using the left knee 00:04:22.001 --> 00:04:25.001 control frequently to dry out damp seams. 00:04:35.000 --> 00:04:39.001 The head man can look sharp anywhere, anytime now. His wash 00:04:39.001 --> 00:04:41.000 slacks are no longer a problem. 00:04:48.001 --> 00:04:53.000 Wool slacks or trousers offer no problem either. Here is something you can't even 00:04:53.000 --> 00:04:58.000 wash, but iron right presses them beautifully merely by placing a strip of 00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.001 wrapping paper between the shoe and the material. 00:05:03.000 --> 00:05:08.001 Curtains, ruffled curtains, are a real project for the hand ironer. Big double 00:05:08.001 --> 00:05:11.000 curtains take up to an hour apiece on the ironing board. 00:05:12.001 --> 00:05:17.001 This is how Mary Jones does big ruffled curtains in less than 15 minutes. 00:05:18.001 --> 00:05:23.000 The ruffle should be ironed first, and with them, Mary easily slips into 00:05:23.000 --> 00:05:24.001 the restful iron right rhythm. 00:05:25.000 --> 00:05:29.001 She inserts the ruffle at a slant over the end of the shoe and lets the ruffle 00:05:29.001 --> 00:05:33.000 run off naturally, ironing a small section at a time. 00:05:34.000 --> 00:05:37.000 This is where the points at either end of the iron right shoe can really be 00:05:37.000 --> 00:05:40.000 appreciated. Part of the ruffle should be done on one open 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.000 end and the remainder on the other. 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:47.001 By feeding the ruffle at a slant, the shoe point runs directly into the ruffle to 00:05:47.001 --> 00:05:52.001 the seam, exactly as in ironing by hand, but without any weight lifting. 00:05:53.001 --> 00:05:58.000 It is one of the things that really sold Mary on iron right. These points get 00:05:58.000 --> 00:06:02.000 into all hard to reach places, all pleats, yokes, ruffles. 00:06:02.001 --> 00:06:06.001 With ordinary ironers, the user normally has to finish these by hand. 00:06:07.001 --> 00:06:12.000 The body of the curtain is ironed with the ironed ruffles extending over the 00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:13.001 ends of the forming board and shoe. 00:06:22.000 --> 00:06:27.001 Regardless of the width, the curtain can be 00:06:27.001 --> 00:06:29.001 ironed in sections until it is done. 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:37.000 Regular flat work upon which Mary Jones first started to practice when she first 00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:40.000 got her iron right is no trouble at all. 00:06:41.000 --> 00:06:45.001 Sheets, as large as they come, marry irons by folding lengthwise and ironing down 00:06:45.001 --> 00:06:49.000 the selvage edge from the wide hem to the small hem. 00:06:50.001 --> 00:06:54.001 She keeps the material taut and straight by placing her fingers between the edges 00:06:54.001 --> 00:06:56.001 while ironing the length of the sheet. 00:06:57.001 --> 00:07:01.000 To avoid wrinkling, she raises the roll and shakes the sheet 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:02.001 out when loose material gathers. 00:07:07.001 --> 00:07:14.000 After running the selvage edge through, she takes the sheet out 00:07:14.000 --> 00:07:16.001 of the ironer and lays it in her lap in this manner. 00:07:22.001 --> 00:07:27.000 She then feeds the small hem end in and irons the other selvage. 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:32.000 The ironing continues until the sheet is folded in four and passed through 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.001 for the fourth and last time. 00:07:46.001 --> 00:07:52.000 A smooth iron right iron sheet like this is a sure cure for insomnia. 00:07:56.001 --> 00:08:03.001 Because of iron right's two open ends, large linen tablecloths 00:08:03.001 --> 00:08:07.001 can be ironed singly with no creases, especially embroidered 00:08:07.001 --> 00:08:11.000 cloths. 00:08:11.000 --> 00:08:15.000 Large lace tablecloths are ironed singly with a pattern or raised 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:16.001 side placed next to the roll. 00:08:18.000 --> 00:08:22.000 With other ironers, it is almost impossible to iron the center of a cloth like 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:26.000 this without creasing it, and creases will soon ruin it. 00:08:26.001 --> 00:08:31.001 And so it goes. Try to stump iron right? It can't be done. 00:08:31.001 --> 00:08:38.000 From pillowcases to napkins to frilly dresses, 00:08:40.001 --> 00:08:46.001 lingerie, the most fragile nightgowns, 00:08:47.001 --> 00:08:53.000 little girl's clothes, little boy's clothes, 00:08:55.000 --> 00:09:01.001 clothes of all kinds for big girls and big boys, ruffles by the hundreds, 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:05.001 knife pleats by the dozen. 00:09:06.001 --> 00:09:11.001 There's nothing hard for iron right, nothing that iron right can't do 00:09:11.001 --> 00:09:13.000 faster and better. 00:09:14.001 --> 00:09:18.001 Besides all its other accomplishments, iron right can be used to steam velvet 00:09:18.001 --> 00:09:21.000 with the aid of a moistened towel over the shoe. 00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:27.001 Mary Jones has found that all the features of iron right spell convenience and 00:09:27.001 --> 00:09:31.000 ease of operation, the end of ironing drudgery. 00:09:32.001 --> 00:09:38.000 The two identical usable open ends, she couldn't do without them. The tilt up 00:09:38.000 --> 00:09:41.000 forming board that makes arranging any garment easy. 00:09:41.001 --> 00:09:46.001 The two shoe points that made it possible for Mary to throw her hand iron away. 00:09:47.001 --> 00:09:52.001 The heat holding under roll cast iron shoe sends the heat directly up into the 00:09:52.001 --> 00:09:55.000 garment and not into the user's face. 00:09:56.000 --> 00:10:00.000 The two simple adjustable knee controls that leave your hands 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:01.001 free to guide the material. 00:10:02.001 --> 00:10:07.001 The new overall streamline styling with satin finish and rounded corners that 00:10:07.001 --> 00:10:10.001 can't catch garmishly for use with iron right ironers. 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.000 It ensures perfect seating, posture and comfort and adjusts itself 00:10:15.000 --> 00:10:17.000 automatically as you change positions. 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:24.001 Three styles to choose from. Model 80, designed for the home laundry. 00:10:25.001 --> 00:10:30.001 Model 85, a smart unit for any homemaker's kitchen with baked enamel finished 00:10:30.001 --> 00:10:33.001 hood that is a work top area when closed. 00:10:36.001 --> 00:10:42.000 The cabinet model in either mahogany or honey finish hardwoods. A piece of 00:10:42.000 --> 00:10:45.001 furniture that will fit into the decor of almost any rule in the house. 00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:53.000 But regardless of the model, the iron right is the same soundly engineered time 00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:58.001 tested appliance built by a company that has always devoted all of its attention 00:10:58.001 --> 00:11:01.000 to the production of iron right. 00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:06.001 It is the unique appliance that crosses out the last stand of old fashioned 00:11:06.001 --> 00:11:09.000 drudgery in the lives of American women. 00:11:10.001 --> 00:11:14.000 Yes, Mary Jones has a lot more to look forward to than had her grandmother. 00:11:15.000 --> 00:11:19.001 Grandmother's flat iron has been retired now and so has its lineal descendants. 00:11:22.000 --> 00:11:29.000 Mary's health, her look, her disposition are safe for a long, long time 00:11:29.000 --> 00:11:35.001 since ironing has become a pleasure, a form of relaxation with iron right.
