In two million homes the women have stepped tri- umphant from the chains that held them slaves to the wash-tub, and instead of looking forward with dread to those fifty-two days of the year when family washings are done, they will welcome those days with pleasure, knowing full well that they are in possession of the magic secret of a happy wash-day. : ] : . : =i : ELECTRIC WASHING MACHINES WILL EM:&NCIPATE HOUSEWIVES FROM { S WASH-TUB SLAVERY : - Right here in the City of Bemidji there are several of these wonder workers that can be heard h‘um_ming a glad litt.le chansonette every Monday morning. - A family washing means nothing to them, and so they sing at their work. Contented housewives sit close by and read “The Ladies’ Home Journal” as their washings are being done. And why not? . ’ WASHING ISN'T A JOB FOR A WOMAN—IT’S WORK FOR A MACHINE Do you want to do your big family washing at a cost which we guarantee will not exceed Two Centsfor hdur? Do you wishite put an end to countless hours of rubbing-—rubbing—rubbing—till your back aches? Do you want to save the wear and tear on clothes by eliminating the wash- board? Do you desire to free yourself from ‘tha_t‘ arm-tiring job of wringing?. Then, let-us re- - — commend to you For two weeks we will feature this machine in our window, will demonstrate it.at our office, will put it into your home for trial, will even do your washing for you—all this—simply to convince you that you can no longer afford to do your washing the old way. N » Fourteen of these machines reached us late last week. Two of them were sold before we could uncrate them. All of them will have been sold by the last of next week. That will be our busi- ness these next two weeks—placing Electric Washers in Bemidji homes. If your home is without an Electric Washer—if Monday has always been a “blue” day for you—then we are prepared to deliver the secret of happiness unto your keeping. - 3 : ' WE SELL ON EASY MONTHLY PAYMENTS : : ; ‘ THE MINNESOTA LIGHT & POWER COMPANY\ Telephone 26 0 400 Minnesota Ave. | First Class Rooms in IIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlIIlIIIIIIIlIIIIIIIIIIIIIHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlllllIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIiIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIlIIlIIIIIlIIIIIIIIII [ y | T lIlllIlIIIIIIIlIII||IllllllIIllllllllllllllll|lll|lllllllllllll|||l|l||||ll|lIIllI||llilllll!Il|j|HlIIIIIIIIIIIIlll_lllIllllll!llIl|IlllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll!I“IIIH‘IIIIIIII 00000000 O A Defective
