Inscriptions Printed on paper label and affixed to verso, BC: WASH AND WEAR? -- Lizz Mendonza takes time out from checking plastic, \ self-cleaning lint filters for washing machines manufactured at the \ Whirlpool Corporation plant in Clyde, Ohio, to amusingly suggest \ another use for the chapeau-like disks. Actually, when the washing \ machine is operating, lint is caught in the comb edges of the filter \ and held there until it can be flushed down the drain. \ - 0 - \ From: John A DeMilia \ For: WHIRLPOOL CORPORATION \ Carol Sizer (616) 926-3231 \ Manager, Public Information \ Administrative Center \ 2000 U.S. 33 North \ Benton Harbor, MI 49022 \ Slug: WASH AND WEAR? \ Neg.
