Here's The WaShf
You Have Waited For!

Here is the most remarkable electric
washer that has been offered to the public
in years.
It will utterly change your ideas, of what
is best" in present-day washers.
Engineering authorities, invited by the
Sunnysuds factory to criticize the design
and construction of this machine, pro-
nounced it five years ahead of the wash
ing machine industry as a whole.
They were convinced, as you will be when
you see this remarkable new machine, that
it excelled anything they have ever seen.
It is no more like the average electric
washer than the automobile of today is
like the car of ten years ago.

Notice how much more attractive

you have ever seen.
Notice that it has no belts, chains
or springs-not a single exposed
moving part.
Check its construction closely.
Note the new octagon-shaped tub,
of exceptionally heavy-gauge
copper. Note how the modern use
of pressed steel has replaced old
fashioned cast iron. Look at the
nickel-plated tub interior. Exam
inc the agitator, built of German
Silver, the most expensive ma
terial used for this purpose in any
washer, at any price.

For example. Wouldyou think of f1ubricat-
ing your car all over, every time you took e
drive? Of course not. Yet most washers
are so constructed that the woman is ex-
pected to go over them with an oil car
before every washing.
But not with the New Sunnysuds. AL
moving parts are enclosed in oil-tight
housings, like the rear axle of an auto
mobile. These housings are packed with
grease when they are built at the factory
and will run for years with no atten-
ton whatever.
Everyone has known that some factory
would one day build machine like this
land Sunnysuds has done it.

Most Important of AEYou

We want this machine known in

whether you are thinking of buy

For we know that if you once see

att gradually became apparent, that
while in the main gas and electric
properties We're profitable and justified
expectations, the street railways did
not. BY the Winter of 1903 it was
evident to those at all in touch with
the situation, that without new capital
for necessary improvements and for
the restoration of impaired credit, the
railroads could not go on. Something
had to be done, and that quickly, or
great panic stared New Jersey in
the face. The railroads could not meet
their accruing obligations. This was
becoming generally known, and I
knew 1t professionally, as well as a
matter of general information. While
the securities were held broadcast, the
policy Of the constituent companies
was shaped by a comparatively small
number of men. To these gentlemen
suggested as the solution of the
problem the formation Of q new COM
pany, with a large cash capital, which
should acquire, upon fair terms, all
the constituent properties, good and
bad, represented by them, the theory
being that during the critical period
the strong and prosperous should car
ry the financially and physically weak
properties Thus Public Service was
formed with a cash capital of $10,-

WHEAT IS LOWER
ONHEAvY SELLING
Prices Down for the Week
Largely Because of Good
Crop Outlook.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Speclal DlspaJcn TO Inc star.
CHICAGO, April 9.-Heavy commits
sion house selling credited to lead
ing local trader hit the wheat market
today and caused severe price break.
Both July and September deliveries
sold at new levels on the season as
stop loss orders were dislodged. The
selling was based on the feeling that
the new crop outlook is exceptionally
favorable. Closing prices. were liz
to 1Ts cents lower and for the week
rs to rs lower: May, 1925 to 1.32%
July, 1.26& to 1.26S; September,
1.25A.
Prices were lower for the week
largely because of the excellent crop
outlook and the inability to interest
new buying in the market.
In today's market the start was
higher because of short covering due
to the fact that the Government crop
report did not show as high a condi-
ton as the trade anticipated. The re.
cent rains have improved the Winter
wheat crop outlook in the Southwest
and indications are that the crop has
sufficient moisture to carry it for some
time. This is believed to have been
the basis for the heavy selling OF July
today on the advance. May liquida-
ton was caused by the factsthat red
wheat is now selling at a discount,
compared with a premium in previous
years.
Exporters tell of a moderate busi-
ness in old crop wheat, but more activ-
ity in new crop months. Shipping
sales were 5000 bushels OF chicken
feed wheat.
Tired longs sold corn after a firm
start and prices had a severe break
in the later trading. Commission
houses and cash interests were BUYERS
early. Last prices were IL cents
lower, and for the week Il higher to
