"At one time I never would have believed
that I could enjoy workirig in a kitchen-7
but that was before 1941, when I had an
all-electriC kitchen installed. Pardon me if
I bubble 'oter about it, but it's so fine in every way. .
ElectriC coOkery gives uniforni results that 'keep my
performance high and food wastage low—arid the anto-
matk features let tile attend to other work while the
range attends to the cooking. I have a lot of help, too,
from my mixer; jilicer, percolator, toaster and Other
helpers. And after meals are over, the dishes don't stare
me . , in the face. It's no • bother at all to scrape them into
the sink (yes, 'I -have a garbage disposal in the drain
that- grinds up scraps and washes them away) . . then I
stack the empty plates, and let the dishwasher take care
of them. I figure the dishwasher saves me -a total,of a
day's work: every month. My hands don't, get in the
water at all, and there's a world of difference in their
appearance. T.ruly, I am having 'a wonderful time in my
kitchen. I hear that all-electric kitchens will be available
again - to other lucky women before -too 1°4. I know
they'll love 'em."

What has been the great-
est single factor in chang-
ing your way of living
during the last fifteen
years? ...Almost certainly
it has been electricity.
Electricity has taken over
to release homemakers
from drudgery . . . to in-
crease comfort ... to pro-
vide a better way of life.
Plan on turning on the
electric life just as soon as
appliances are again avail-
able. Find out what mod-
ern appliances can do for
you . . . how they operate
... what they cost. All the
evidence indicates that the
old-fashioned way is the
wasteful way . all those
who know say that the elec-
tric *ay is the better way.
HOW THE' ELECTRIC DISHWASHER WORKS
After scraping, place
plates in wire rack
that holds them to
catch scouring spray.
Place special soap
powder in corner,
close door, turn con-
trol knob to "WASH:*
Wash for five minutes.
After draining, two
