Eubank Cabinet lroning Board

Featured qxclusively in the Eubank Cabinet Ironing Board, now available for immediate delivery nationally, is a cast aluminum swivel support which gives the board unusual flexibility in use. Patented by the builders, I-. H. Eubank & Son, Inglewood, California, the support holds the board firmly in an upright position while in the cabinet and provides rigid support when the board is lowered into position for use. Once lowered, the board may also be swung through a wide horizontal arc, allowing it to be used in exceptionally narrow hallways and in other locations where space is limited.

Not one of the swivel supports, according to the builders, has ever failed in normal use.

The Harbor Plywood Corporation, Hoquiam, Washington, is national sales representative for the Eubank SwivelType Cabinet Ironing Board.
