There's no question abut the everyday usefulness of a
feather duster. You van get along without one, but
better with one. Save stoopiug, reaching and climbing,
will do some kinds of dusting better than anything else
The time was when the cost made them luxurious
Our prices ought to make them necessities. After using
one a while you would as soon think of doing without a
broom as a duster. Our s ock of duslers was bought
