Rain ... wind ... cold ... won’t bother you with a flameless
electric clothes dryer. Permanent press dries wrinkle-free.
Delicate fabrics dry safely. Heavy work clothes dry fast. And
it’s economical — costs so much less to buy you can operate
it for years on that saving alone.

Cheer up. Even Tarzan mis-times a leap now and then.
And don't give up on your school work. We’ve made it
possible for many shut-in students to attend classes even
though they’re confined to bed. Our school-to-home service is
the answer. It s a two-way communications system that lets
the student speak and listen to anyone in the classroom.
Its helped many a bright youngster through some
pretty gloomy confinements.
After all, we’ve had years and years of practice in
developing phone arrangements for special problems. We offer
phones for hard-of-hearing people, blind people, people who
can’t use their hands-phones so kids in bed can be in school.
We’ll be glad to tackle your problem, too. Just call the
telephone business office.
