woman who does her own ironing Now there
is season coming when il has another adyau-
tage II won't heat your room and it won't
make il necessary for you to have hot fire in
order to heat the iron.
Did you ever iron in summer time? Ger
tsinly you have and unless you used an electric
iron you sweItered And you walked. OF
course you did Walked TO the stove to put one
iron on and get a hot one Would you do that
with an electric iron? Not on your life. You
would simply attach the cord and go to work
No matter whether the time is an hour or a
minute, the iron is right there ready for work
No walking. no sweIterine. You can iron any
where. Iron out in the back yard, on the back
porch, in any room of the house All that is
necessary is TO have the electric socket to
make the connection.
Now is the time to get the iron which YOU
have been thinking about. DO you know any
one who Is using one? ask her if she would
go back to the old style of ironing and see her
look surprised If you don't know anyone,
come in and see us about it. We will loan you
an iron for one ironing and if you don't come
in at once and buy it then we will be nightly
