Steel Made Into Wool.

p. 45 · Read in the full issue

MOST housewives would consider a solid block of steel somewhat unpromising as the ma terial for a cleaner of kitchenware.

Yet, with recently perfected machines, solid steel is shaved into long, fine, curling fibres.

By bunching these fibres together, small pads are made, looking like unspun metal wool. This Australian product is called Steelo. It is suit able for many uses —principally the scouring and polishing of aluminium and other kitchenware, the cleaning of enamel and porcelain baths and basins, and the preparation of metal and wood work for painting. Steelo does not scratch and is not at all expensive to use.

The manufacturers, R. H. Armstrong and Co.. 44 King Street. St. Peters, N.S.W., are anxious to get into touch with traders interested in household lines. Free samples will be sent on request to any housewife unable to obtain Steelo locally.
