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.
