RICA MMJERS X HY ENVY ALADDIN WHO, by rubbing a lamp, could summon a genie to do his work and fulfill his wishes? Today we may at will call to our aid a power more wonderful than any spirit of fairy lore. Electrical appliances have won uni versal recognition as real working assist ants. Doesn't it seem providential that as the number of house-workers dwindle, the electrical . assistants multiply at a great rate? The power of electricity enables one servant to do the work formerly done by two. In, homes that have always been servantless, the daily tasks are greatly lightened. . Properly used, electricity can serve you in more ways than any other single gift of civilization AT LESS COST. The distribution df electrical energy and service is by its very nature a public service. The Portland Railway, Light & Power Co., a pioneer in the development of electrical energy in Oregon, stands squarely behind any constructive effort to educate the public to the many advantages to be gained by the use of electric current. In spite of the most dishearten ing conditions of the past few years this Portland pioneer power firm constantly seeks new ways and methods of service. Its many branches, ! service stations and electrical stores are merely a part of the service that : rightly belongs to the users of electricity. Its double function is that of j service to the public and cooperation with all electrical dealers. , 1 This firm heartily approves of the up-to-date, efficient and cooperative j service to which the alert electrical merchants whose names appear on I this page have subscribed. It augurs well for that one-for-all and all-for- ! one spirit which will make Portland the metropolis of the Northwest. It i is to the everlasting credit of the electrical contractor-dealers of Portland i that with keenly competitive interests, they should be the first to realize ! in a constructive and workable manner that what helps all helps one. i A REAL "FRIEND INDEED" J p. is one; of these little Electric Heaters.

But the delighted owner will prove to you that this is true, and will assure you, besides, that in money Blue Bild saves even more than - the amount of her weekly laundry bill. For she has discovered that bed linen, table linen, articles of wearing apparel, everything in fact, la-ts many times longer when washed in the oscillating copper tub of Blue Bira. When you have seen this tub, smooth as a washboiler inside, you will realize why both fine lace center pieces and heavy work shirts are washed in it with equal safety; when you have examined the rigid frame, the wide swinging 'wringer, and the simple mechanism you will understand why Blue Bird service is so satisfactory and lasting.
