Washing Machines Popular.

Sales of electric washing machines
have been heavier in the last three
months than ever in history. The
same holds true of ironing machines
operated by electricity and heated
either by electricity or gas. electric
irons and centrifugal dryers. The
Savage Arms Company, for example,
which made large profits on arms and
ammunition during the war, and suf-
fered a depression during the postwar
slump, now has made electric wash
ing machines one of the chief prod
ucts and derives no little share of its
profits from their sale.
Soap consumption has increased
enormously in the last six months all
over the country, as well as in the
anthracite-u using regions. Represent
atives of one of the largest manufac-
turers of soap and soap powders in
the country declared today this was a
reflection of growing culture and
higher standards of living as well as
of more coal dust and smoke.
