Wash ington, D. C. WERN MARK’S CONFIDENCE H. Zeigler’s ^5?? reasons why you should have an All-Electric Home Laundry*. ♦ r To banish laundering drudgery I To make your clothes last longeri 3 To turn out moro attractive work I O Any electric laundering appliance — washer, ironer or water heater — will do so much to lighten your work. Any two of them — or all three — will make your work still easier. But ths ideal arrangement is to have all three placed in a carefully designed laundry. Then you will enjoy maximum effi ciency with a minimum of labor. You will waste no steps, no motions. Your equipment will do all the hard work— not you. And your laundering time will be very substantially reduced. So decide now to have an all-elsctric laundry. You may have to acquire your washer, ironer and automatic electric water heater one appliance at a time. But do work out a plan for your all electric laundry and work toward the completion of that plan as you buy equipment. Dealers and P. P. A L. Co. will glad ly assist you in working out your laun dry plan, in arranging convenient terms.
