The only washing machine in the world thai cleanses
a 23 -gallon tubful of clothes in 4 minutes
C. M. EAGER, Agent
Athena, Oregon
It is worth any woman's notice' that the best
working washer that money can buy is also the
most attractive.
For the Meadows is the only washer that really
cleanses a 23-gallon tubful of clothes in 4 minutes.
And does the whole job without asking the
housewife to come to the rescue on neck-bands
and cuffs. The only washer that treats lingerie
and filmy things as they were meant to be treated.
Here are the reasons for these superb advantages
of washing with the Meadows: v '.
The tub is 4 gallons bigger; it can be bigger be
cause this washer embodies the secret of faster
water action; the washing process is gentler,
though more thorough, because the Bakelite
agitator is forever smooth and does not wear
rough and sharp like the metal agitators in other
machines.
You owe it to yourself to do at least one washing
with the Meadows. Our service man can show
you how to run it in three
minutes' time.
You alone will decide that
this machine has kept a rich
promise: Phone u: today
for a demonstration.
