How To Test If An Iron Is Hot

(Taken from 'Mrs. Hedgewick's Handy Housekeeping Hints')

Mr. Henry Hedgewick is shown here demonstrating the two-step method of telling if an iron is hot enough to use. (Please note: this process is not recommended for little children. Viewing should be under strict parental guidance and funnybone rubbing.)

1. Place iron on heated stove for a short period.

2. Lift iron to forehead and try smoothing brow. If it works there, then it will also be hot enough for use on shirts, nightgowns and other items of clothing.
