Sears, R0ebuck Seeks to End Domestic Slavery
 With Modern Ideas

Theve ig no one, probably, who is not familiar with the NltA and the benefits that it has conferred on tho working people of the na. ton. To roeeive as much pay or more than formerly with fewer hours Co work is certainly C big improvement over previous e0ns ditions.
 But what Of the housewifoi The | old adag0 Man works from sun to sun" is oil changed So far as those who work out are concerned. They not only work shorter hours, but actually have an additional dny to rest or play as the ease may Do
 For tho rest 0f tho quotation, "Woman's work is nOveT done" all we can say is that it still holds wives ell over the country. now fore and in addition must oither extra days their workers have off, or spend their time entertaining them, and putting off some of their work until evenings.
 Thero is no doubt that there BUVNt0 UV " AlVNBNmhV " tOUtt Ayut in as much as thero is mono up nor any contemplated, it is up to every housewife Co make her own How can she do that? Simply by demanding as hor right ail the labor.saving equipment that the hOme's budget Will permit. To do this, she herself must become familiar with the manufactured products that will m0nn the most to her in the management Of her home; for she must become q home manager instead of just q drudging house. o.workor. She owes it to hor' s0lf and oven more, she owes it t0 hor family to become moro and more and wife and mother rather than just q housewife. Tho days Of backAches and weary bones is over, but the home manager must realize this.
 Every woman knows the benefits Of m Electric Washer, Ir0nor, Electric Refrigerator, etc., but there arc many other items avail' able that mean aB much In labor and time saving as those men toned. Speedy gas ranges, sO thoroughly insulated that the heat does not warm up tho kitehon and cause the electric refrigerator to run overtime; Pressure Cookers that cook Q complete meal, from new-type porcelain sinlb that moan more efficient cleaning; the proper typo Of water-henting equipment, cts; all these and many more Will emancipate the housewife just as surely as slaves were freed In 1885. ;, Sears, ROcbuck & Co. have al. ways had the home in mind. It is the basis of all their succcssful business. ft is not difficult for any one to realize that this must be so. for their aim always has been Co reduce tho prices of this labor and time saving equipment to n point where every home can afford It. and this is literally true today. Sears calls for q new deal for the housewife, and is now doing it's part in bringing selling prices still lower in their Emancipation Sale which starts Tuesday, June 18th and runs for E days. the remainder of the week. In addition, terms are offered which will permit the use of the equipment now. There is now no excuse for putting or buying; and it is urged that the husbands and fathers cooperate in fine bringing of their family addi- tIonai benefits for each and every one, making q happier home where shorter hours and less labor mean rest and leisure for al.
