Washer. You'll appreciate the roomi
ness of the seamless, one-piece cast
aluminum tub that holds more clothes
than ordinary washers.
You'll appreciate the speed
and thoroughness with which
the Maytag washes blankets,
r u g s, draperies, curtains. It
makes them clean as-new in a
surprisingly short time because
the Maytag does an average
washing in an hour. Big tub
fuls of ordinary clothes are
washed spotlessly clean in 3
to 7 minutes.
The Maytag washes so thor
oughly that no hand-rubbing is
necessary even on the stubborn
eclge dirt of collars, cuffs and
wristbands.
You'll appreciate the compact
all metal wringer," set close to
the water level, so that you do
not have to lift the heavy pieces
so high. The wringer auto
matically adjusts the tension for
wringing a heavy blanket or
bulky rag as readily as for a
thin handkerchief and wrings
both equally, dry.
The motor has abundant
power to operate the washer and
the wringer at the same time.
By all means get your Maytag
for housecleariing time. Try it
on a week's washing before
you decide. No obligation or
expense.
