"Blanketing the Country

Nashua Woolnap Blankets have gone into millions of homes. You have probably slept under many a pair and noted their soft warmth without realizing that they were the Nashua Mfz. Co.'s Woolnap Blankets. The deep, springy nap is woven by the Nashua process so that each crinkly cotton thread holds in the bodily heat within tiny spaces of imprisioned air. This is adopting Nature's own way of keeping her little people warm; for wool, fur, feathers, cotton have no warmth in themselves. They are containers for tiny air cells which hold in the bodily heat and keep the animals from freezing.

Pure Cotton Blankets
Keep You Warm

They are strong, handsome, and moths will not touch them. They are factory wrapped, reaching you in a clean and wholesome condition. We recommend the 72 x 84 blankets for double beds. They may be well tucked, yet will leave enough to come up well over the shoulders. When you are buying Nashua Woolnap Blankets look for the ticket.

The free booklet, 'Nature's Blanket', tells you the story of the scientific tests which prove the warmth of Nashua Woolnap Blankets. It also gives directions for laundering and other helpful blanket information. Send for it.
