Why Not Have Your
Laundry Done for
2c an Hour
AND HAVE IT OUT OF THE WAY
BEFORE BREAKFAST
. 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.

Last week we told you of the scarcity of good furniture that the whole American furniture

These forty bedroom suites at $84.50 were contracted for in the spring; well ahead of the
great scarcity and increased prices. They were built to our order. They are substantial, good
looking, thoroughly practical. All are enameled ivory white. If there is an artist in the family
they can be easily decorated with flowers which will make them look twice as costly.
Bought on a quantity basis, these good suites were obtained at very important price conces
sions. Now that Portland folk are planning to refurnish their homes because the boys have
come back and things begin to be normal we pass on these savings secured months ago.
