ELECTRIC dile]
An electric dryer takes the blues out of "blue
Monday." Wet wash goes in . . . fluffy dry laundry
comes out. There are no heavy wet clothes to haul
up the stairs, hang on the line.
You'll discover, too, that an electric dryer seems to
add more hours to your day. At last you can get
started on those never-have-time-for tasks, or devote
more time to your family, community and friendS.
Make your next washday truly "easy livin' " with
an electric clothes dryer.
