FOR DRYING CLOTHES ELECTRICALLY!
No backbreaking loads of wet wash to carry. No rushing out to rescue rain
soaked or wind-whipped clothes. Your laundry comes out of a flameless elec
tric dryer fresh as sunshine and so fluffy, so smooth, that ironing is cut way
down. It saves you money, too. An electric dryer costs less to buy than the other
kind, and you can finance any wiring on our new Wire-on-Time plan. Don't wait
for the next storm! See your dealer now.
