THE new Easy Washer has an

dries one full batch Of clothes while
the Easy's large tub washes another.
Each tub holds eight double sheets

by thus doing two things at once the
Easy cuts washing time in half.
Women find that on rainy wash
days when there is no chance to sun
the clothes they can spin the Easy's
marvellous dryer little longer and
the clothes are ready for ironing.
The new dryer can't break buttons.
It never puts wrinkles in linens. It
doesn't wear or tear the clothes.
A wonderful new water circulating
