Where? In your own home. By whom? Yourself and the Thor Electric Washing Machine. This Thor machine is a dumb thing of wood, iron and electrical connection, but it mechanically does its work so well that it re leases a lot of time for the home-wife. Suppose you had a Thor in your laundry tomorrow morning. This is what would happen: Fill Thor's perforated wooden cylinder with white clothes, replace the im, turn ine spigoi itr nut waier ana men pusn tne outton releasing: the electric current and starting the motor. That's all Thor needs. He is a miniature of the washers In laundries which clean tons of clothes every week. He knows his business. The Thor washes the dirt out instead of rubbing: it in. After twelve minutes the clothes will be cleaned. An electric wringer stands patiently waiting to serve you in the next process. Could anything less fatiguing or less time-taking be imagined? An ordinary wash can be finished in less than an hour and Port land electricity costs only 2c an hour. "Thor" is absolutely guaranteed by the makers and costs for life time service just $135. There are no leather belts or other alarming machinery about the Thor none at all. MAKE YOUR OWN TERMS IN REASON The New Electric Kitchen and Laundry invites you personally to see the latest electrical inventions to make home work less hard and more satisfactory. Every woman and a surprisingly large number of men so far liave been tremendously interested in the new scientific electric dish-washer.
