People Use Electric Flat Irons the Year Round r They are equally as convenient in fall and winter as ' they are in the hot weather. There may be less discomfort from kitchen fires, to be sure, but the electric flat iron has many other advantages than saving heat. They save drudgery. They save footsteps between ironing board and stove. They never need changing. They are always clean and uniformly hot ready at your elbow. Thousands of Women use them who prefer to iron little things themselves in their own room, or elsewhere; on short notice. An elec tric iron once tried is never afterward dispensed with. Why not try one yourself. Ask us for particulars. Rogue River Electric Co. n Mm. Alary l.eawo win waul to i-ouu HlflHtf and give iih a Mpiul once .in .. while.
