WASHING YOUR RUBBERS

When you wash rubbers or golashes in warm, soap water, be sure not to allow water to seep inside. If your boots are fur- hairs of mud particles. A trimmed, brush vigorously to rid the well-soaped heavy duty brush will work wonders in cleaning sole crevices and breaking up caked mud. Wipe off as much mois- ture as possible and place the articles in a warm out-of-the-way corner to dry, but away from midiators, furnaces, warm air vents, etc., which might cause the rubber to stiffen and crack.
