WORTH BEARING IN M/ND A Ballantyne Service That Will Save Tims \ And Trouble. The days are still cold and somewhat short; hut Spring will soon overtake the calendar and we will be enjoying our accustomed sunshine and shorter nights. Then —if not already will commence the planning of spring cleaning, to bring the Home into line with the outside cheery brightness. Probably the most forbidding —though necessary-—aspect of the whole Spring renovation is the cleaning of the carpet. Anyone who has carried this matter of the carpet through in the old-fashioned manner, is well aware that it is a most tiring business. Carpets are so unwieldy to lift, so exhausting to beat and—to most folk—difficult to re-lay. It is here that BALLANTYNES “ CARPET BEATING SERVICE ” comes to the aid of the Spring cleaner. Ballantynes specialised process subjects the carpet to a mechanical beating—by means of flexible leather bands that do their work thoroughly without injuring the pile—at the same time, a powerful air suction is in operation which extracts all loose dust and puts quite a new complexion upon the carpet so treated. Carpets are called for—taken up—cleaned—and re-laid at the shortest notice: on the same day should it be urgently ueeded. Inquiry is Invited. Charges are Moderate. DISCOUNT—1/- in £ for Cash or on Monthly Accounts.
