He carries the ball any hour of the day or night, providing instant hot water for all the family needs. He needs no warm-up period; goes into action when the homemaker calls the signals; and even knows all the plays in advance. Turn on the tap and he furnishes plenty of hot water for bathing, clothes wash- ing and every other household need. Push a button and he backs up the home laundry team with plenty of hot water at germ-killing tem- peratures. Turn a dial and the electric dishwasher has an instant supply of water hotter than hands can stand to rid dishes of disease- carrying germs. The electric water heater doesn’t make household “touchdowns” himself, but he makes it possible for the electric appliance team — washer, dishwasher and all—to score regularly inkitchen, bath and laundry chores. When he joins the home team, he stays in action for a long time be- cause he comes from a long-lived family. He’s guaranteed for ten years, but many electric water heat- ers in his family are still supplying the household’s hot water needs after 20 years or more.

Electric Clothes Dryer Means Time Out For The Housewite How long does it take to dry your clothes? If you use a completely automatic electric clothes dryer, you will be able to answer that ques- tion immediately —and accurately, according to the Luzerne Electric Division of UGI. The time saving for the average family is about 3 hours weekly. Every homemaker can use a “time divided” to accomplish those extra chores around the house. Whilethe family laundry is automatically dried in an electric dryer, mother can get an extra bit of gardening done—or run up a new dress for Susie or Jane. People who dry clothes ‘by hand” find that it takes 28 times as long to handle an eight pound load of clothes as it does to trans- fer them from the washer to an elec- tric dryer. In addition, time is al- ways lost because of that unpredict- able element, the weather. Wash dried electrically can be done in a stated number of min- utes — day or night— any season of the year. The time it takes to dry clothes can also affect other aspects of home life. For instance, if it takes too long to dry clothes, you need a greater number and assortment of house- hold linens and clothing.

Oa THE DALLAS POST — THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 7, 1963 Installed Electric Dryer Ends Wash Day Inconvience Without an electric dryer the homemaker is only getting half the bene- fits, according to Luzerne Electric Division, UGL In the old days, next to cooking, doing the laundry was the most time consuming task in the home. ‘Electric clothes dryers,” Mr. Shepherd said, are the answer to the other half of wash day inconvenience. Many homemakers, he feels, may be unaware that an electric dryercanbe easily installed. This is of particular importance when the laundry area in mosthomes is a matter of “space accommodation.” It can be installed next to the kitchen, in a closet, family room, heated garage, bathroom or basement. The average laundry room (in- cluding soiled-clothes storage, sort- ing counter, washer, dryer, ironing equipment and even sewing center) can fit in about 80 square feet of space. But in many homes this amount of space may not be avail- able, therefore all laundry ap- pliances, including the dryer are more advantageous to the con- sumer if installation becomes a minor problem. The electric clothes dryer has many advantages besides ease of installation — it is clean, cool, odor- less and easy to control. Although it performs a major household chore the electric dryer is also one of the few modern elec- tric appliances that homemakers call a ‘necessary luxury.” If electric dryers had come on the market at the same time that electric washers were developed, Mr. Shepherd said, it is reasonable to assume that to- day as many dryers would be in use as there are washers. Home- makers who have used a dryer would no more think of doing without one than they would con- sider doing their wash by hand. No More Ashes If you are now using a POT STOVE WATER HEATER, tests also show that itconsumes as much as 750 pounds of coal a month. Add up the hot weather months in your area and you'll see where your money goes. HOWTHIS SYS- TEM WORKS: This is a small stove used exclusively for the pur- pose of heating water, and it’s frequently used as a summer water heater when a furnace coil is used during the winter. Extremely inef- ficient in operation, it loses a great deal of heat up thechimney. It’s not automatic, requires a great deal of attention, and has no thermostat. Philco Features Undertow Agitator Exclusive ° Undertow - Action” creates 575 agitations a minute— 6 to 10 times more than ordinary back-and-forth agitator action. It travels the clothes faster and farther as it pulls them deep down, up and over, round and round through the liveliest washing action ever put in a washer. Wash water ripples out and darts in all directions 575 times a minute . speeds through the clothes with a cleansing power that works through biggest loads, penetrates heaviest fabrics, flushes out deepest dirt, washes a big 12-pound load cleaner than any other automatic. To Remove The coal has to be bought, stored, and the ashes removed. It’s fre- quently installed in connection with an uninsulated tank, resulting in additional heat and money loss. WITH AN ELECTRIC WATER HEATER you set the automatic control for the water temperature you desire and forgetit. The ““think- ing” thermostat does the rest — maintains temperature as set, pre- vents scalding surges of hot water. And of course, since electricity does not burn, there are no fuels to store, no ashes to remove, no soot to stain walls and ceilings or to dirty fur- nishings and fabrics.
