Your electric water heater is the silent partner in
your all electric laundry. Slip it in beside your auto-
matic washer and electric clothes dryer. Use the
counter top to fold clothes or to hold just about any-
thing. It's never hot to the touch ... has no fumes, no
odor, no flame. And it gives you all the hot water you
need day and night. With no waiting, no worry.
In the modern square shape or in the conventional
round shape, your electric water heater works with you
as you do your laundry and other household chores.
It's quick-recovery, so you never run short. It's eco-
nomical with low cost CPL electricity. And because no
flue or vent is needed, you can put it anywhere. Give
your all electric laundry a silent partner— an electric
water heater.
