[John Rogers]

The best washing machines I have ever seen or used were in Subic Bat PI, were the laundry people on shore used big galvanized wash tubs, throw in the clothes, add some Ivory Snow soap then fill with hot water. Once soap had dissolved, there would be a skinny little kid jump in the tub bare footed of course then dance around a while. Then rinse the US Navy white uniforms until no soap. Finally, a young woman would iron everything.

Only time I ever had the sweat stains come out of the collar of my whites or hash marks on my skivvies!
