DO YOU LIKE TOGET
TIRED IN THE KITCHEN

The way some women hang on to
their old-fashioned kitchens one would
think they liked to wear themselves out
doing the work. The miles of steps
they take getting three meals day; the
unnecessary trips to pantry, cellar and
storeroom is .drudgery that makes
young women quickly grow old.
A million women in America won't
submit to such slavery. They bought
a Hoosier and do the same work easily
and in half the time.
