Sanforized
While Sunflower and I were walking the dogs this evening, it started to sprinkle. She mentioned it, and I replied, "Don't worry, we're both Sanforized." It then occurred to me that I haven't seen that trademark in many years. Do any of you see it? Is it still current?

I remember the term from my childhood. Sanforized clothing would not shrink in the wash. Almost no one had driers then, so it meant that the hot water in the washer would not shrink your good cotton shirts and slacks. I'll bet since the advent of polyester it hasn't been needed.
